Josh Duhamel isn't worried about the sleepless nights and dirty diapers that await him when wife Fergie gives birth to their first child later this year. On the contrary, he says he's looking forward to them.
"Everybody who's had a baby or knows somebody who's had a baby seems to have advice about something," the 40-year-old dad-to-be told. "'Oh, you better sleep now; you're not going to get any when the baby's here.' 'Oh, your life is over after that.' 'Oh, it's the most beautiful thing ever, but, oh, it's tough.'"
"I feel like we're ready for it," the Transformers actor continued. "I actually look forward to that."
In fact, he wants to do as much of that as possible. "I plan on taking [off] as much time as I can just before and as much time as possible after," he told. "I can't imagine having a kid and then not being able to be there. That would just drive me crazy. My head would be at home with mom and baby."
Fergie, for her part, recently said that she has the utmost confidence in Duhamel's parenting abilities. "He's been amazing," the 38-year-old pregnant singer gushed in April. "He's so nice and wonderful, and he sings and talks to my belly all the time. He's very complimentary. I'm very lucky that he is really good to me."
"He's going to be an amazing father," she added. "he's just got natural parenting instincts, and he wanted to knock me up from our first date! He is ready!"
