— -- Blake Lively announced last month that she and husband Ryan Reynolds are expecting their first baby.

This very attractive A-list couple couldn't be more excited to welcome a child next year and Reynolds, 38, told People magazine he's ready to go.

“I don’t have a weak stomach,” Reynolds said. “I’m good with diapers and diarrhea and all that kind of stuff because I have lots of nieces and nephews, so I’ve done it all before.”

Reynolds has always been open about wanting a big family, like the ones he and Lively grew up with.

“I’m just excited about having a buddy,” he said. “We don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl yet, but whatever it is, you have this tether to reality that never goes away.”

Reynolds added he's not stressing and "leaving a lot of room for error" at being a first time dad.
