Men Reveal Their First Reactions To Finding Out They Were Going To Be Dads
I can't wait to have kids.
OK, I have a long way to go, but I do see kids for myself at some point in the future.
Sometimes, I wonder how I'm going to break the news to my baby daddy. Like, am I going to be super obnoxious about it and hire some plane agency to draw "You're gonna be a dad!" in the sky or something?

Whenever that day comes, I'm hoping my guy responds the same way I most likely will: With genuine enthusiasm, a tiny bit of fear, and a whole lot of bliss and happiness.
