Daddy-to-be Josh Duhamel might be ready to report for diaper duty, but the star wasn’t quite ready for how his wife’s first sonogram would made him feel.

At a press event for his upcoming film Safe Haven, the heartthrob told Yahoo, “Seeing that ultrasound is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. You’re like, ‘Wow, it’s mine.’” Aw! Josh! Come here, let me give you a hug! Even though his baby with wife, Fergie, will be the couple’s first, dad-to-be has no doubts he’s ready to take on his latest role.

He said, “I think that I’ve always had an affinity for kids. There’s something about me and kids that just clicks,” he told reporters. (And I’m going to go out on a limb here and say Josh and those sparkling good looks will click with just about anything, but that’s besides the point.) It’s absolutely adorable how excited (and ready) Duhamel is to be dad to a baby girl or boy. The couple wed in 2009 and since then, they’ve hinted that kids will come when they’re ready for them.

And, if you’re wondering where Josh got his hands-on experience, you don’t have to look very far. “I don’t know if it’s because I am a kid, but it does prepare you whenever you’re around them,” he said, “I’ve got nieces and nephews and all my friends have kids. All that stuff is a learning experience for when it actually happens, but I don’t think you’re ever truly prepared until it’s your own.” Totally agree!

Did your ultrasound make your pregnancy feel “real”?

“Holy Crap! — I’m a Dad”

Yesterday, I had my second monitoring appointment to check to see how well the Clomid and injections grew my follicles. (This is all to get me to start ovulating. See more about why I’m doing all this here.) I was incredibly nervous. I started to think about all the “what ifs.” What if there are too many follicles? What if there aren’t any at all? What if my lining is too thin? The ultrasound tech started with my right ovary. There were about 15 small follicles but nothing over 7 mm. I need at least one follicle over the size of 18 mm in order to trigger ovulation. I was disappointed that nothing was there. Then I started worrying there wouldn’t be any on my left ovary either. The tech searched and searched with the wand but couldn’t find my left ovary. She switched to the external wand and after more searching, found my left. She zoomed in and measured a beautiful 20 mm follicle. Whew, relief! She found one other one that was decent size: 15 mm.

After the ultrasound, I met with my doctor to discuss the plan. She said everything was looking great and I’m exactly where she wants me to be. The plan was to inject myself with an HCG trigger shot tonight to induce ovulation and then to have sex tonight. I told her my husband and I were on the fence about whether or not to do IUI (interuterine insemination — this is where sperm is injected into the uterus), instead of trying to conceive the old fashioned way. I asked her, “Should we give it our all and pay for the IUI this cycle or save the money for injections next cycle and only do timed intercourse for now?”  She said, “I’m always thinking about this cycle and giving it our all. I think you should do the IUI this cycle and we can worry about next cycle later. But then again, it’s easier for me to say that sitting in this position. Still, if you were my daughter, I would tell you to do the IUI.” So, go big or go home, right?  We are scheduled to for an IUI tonight and IUI #2 on Friday. Come on, Team Erwin!
