In exciting news from the Breaking Dawn 2 crew, a new baby is on the way for one of their own. Jackson Rathbone, perhaps better known as Jasper Hale in the Twilight series, and his girlfriend, Sheila Hafsadi, confirmed yesterday that they're expecting.

According to Us Weekly, Hafsadi -- a burlesque dancer he met while on tour -- is five months pregnant, which means the baby will be here before Breaking Dawn 2 releases. His rep says the couple is "thrilled and excited to be expecting their first child." Move over Edward and Bella!

Though a bit surprising, it's exciting for fans too to think of welcoming a new little vampire baby to the family. And Rathbone seems like he'll make a great father. Here are five reasons why:

I think we all know that gender disappointment is a very real thing. Though most people can move on from it and put it behind them. I remember when I found out that my twins were one boy and one girl. I remember the look on my husband's face when he knew we were having a boy -- relief mixed with happiness. Of course we wanted healthy babies, but he wanted a boy, and that's okay. It's funny how now he and our daughter are nearly inseparable -- she is so Daddy's little girl.

Some people, however, cannot handle their gender disappointment. When one mother had given birth to her third girl, the father had the worst reaction anyone could ever imagine. He killed the mother of his three children.

Occasionally we see amazing stories of children saving their parents' lives -- toddlers who dial 911 when a parent is ill or otherwise react with wisdom well beyond their years. Well, a wee little boy in Georgia may have bested them all as his mother says he saved his father's life before he'd been born.

According to Sara McDonald, who is 7 1/2 months pregnant, her husband, Thomas, wouldn't be here today if her baby hadn't given her a very powerful sign that something was wrong -- a big kick. She says that kick from her baby, Cameron, jolted her out of a deep sleep where she found her husband unresponsive.

I stumbled upon this ad for a "dudela" which is a doula for fathers-to-be. The post mentioned the various services a dudela would do -- like keep the expectant dad updated on sports scores and prepare his text messages that will go out to friends once baby is born. A dudela would also respond to all incoming calls and texts and make sure all devices have enough charge. All of this so the mother's partner can be there in-the-now while everything else gets taken care of by your hired help, the dudela.

Made you giggle, didn't it? Sounds like it's a joke, right? Well, this dudela is based in New York City, and honestly, it could very well be real considering you can hire someone for just about anything in NYC. But I think it's really unnecessary, unless ....

If you're currently pondering the benefits of babywearing and wondering if a sling is the right thing for your family, watching the following video may just seal the deal for you. After seeing it, you may feel compelled to run, not walk, to your local baby store and register for one or just scoop one up then and there.

In the video, this subtly sexy Norwegian guy gives a demonstration on how to wear a baby sling. Without any words, he shows how to do it step-by-step from start to finish. It's actually as useful as it is entertaining to watch.

Celebrities announce pregnancies every other day and it's always joyous news, except when it happens to someone truly inspirational and deserving like JR Martinez, the former Iraqi vet turned DWTS champion. When impending parenthood happens to people like that you don't simply offer congratulations, you dance on the tables screaming YAYYYY!!! Martinez and his girlfriend Diana Gonzalez-Jones are expecting their first child next spring, and the couple are high as a kite over the news. But judging from all the Tweets and comments going around the web, I think his fans might be even more excited than they couple is ... if that's even possible!

Are you pregnant? Are your lady friends planning a big pink or blue bash in your honor? That is super nice, and you should thank those gals for making the effort. But why not slip your partner's name into the mix when they ask you to provide an invite list? After all, he's responsible for half of that baby's DNA in there. Why can't he celebrate? Or be celebrated?

In fact, including the menfolk into the baby celebration just might be the best way to start your family off on the right foot, moving forward instead of staying stuck in the dark ages.

Women who trick men into fatherhood are the lowest of the low. If you think it doesn't exist, think again. It happens all the time. 

The Daily Mail had several examples of men who were duped into becoming fathers by women who lied about birth control or, worse, used the sperm in the condoms to impregnate themselves. Sometimes it seems like all the rhetoric around childbearing is about women's rights and men's responsibilities, but what about in cases like these where the man is clearly duped into becoming a father because of the woman's biological clock?

It's hard to imagine anything that could be more irresponsible than bringing an unwanted child into the world and then, adding insult to injury, suing the man you tricked into paying for that child for at least 18 years. It's wrong to the man, yes. But even more, it's wrong to the child.
