LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Neil Patrick Harris is going to be a dad.
On Saturday afternoon, the "How I Met Your Mother" star confirmed via Twitter that he and partner, David Burtka, are expecting not one, but two bundles of joy.

"So, get this: David and I are expecting twins this fall," Neil Tweeted. "We're super excited/nervous/thrilled. Hoping the press can respect our privacy..."

Just as Neil announced the news, photos of the actor and David, who is a fellow thespian (and cook), surfaced showing the happy couple enjoying themselves on Saturday afternoon at Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim, Calif.

Adam Shankman of "So You Think You Can Dance," quickly congratulated the couple on the news via Twitter, writing, "guess what babies are gonna learn how to dance and direct from their uncle Adam?"

In addition to planning for his upcoming fatherhood, summer 2010 has been a busy one for the actor.

He directed Vanessa Hudgens and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger in the musical "Rent" at the Hollywood Bowl, earlier this month.

Neil is also up for three Emmys this month - one for Best Supporting Actor Comedy for his work on "HIMYM," a second for Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for "Glee" and a third for hosting last year's Tony Awards.

David has experience with twins; he helped to raise twins from a relationship with a previous boyfriend, although he wasn't a primary parent to them.

two gays raising twins, yeah wonderful news.

can't do much worse parenting than the straight couples out there... well, ya know - the 50% of straight couples who don't get divorced.

they will do a hundred times better. The lack of parental involvement in the other 50% of their own childs education is astonishing and rather depressing.

Children develop better if they are raised by both males and females. Hopefully these kids can have a close female influence in their lives.

So, how does the rest of society function, considering most deralics have kids out of wedlock or are divorced and the male is not involved.

Those children don't fare as well. Any young girl who doesn't get the attention of a male when she is young will find that attention later when she is older. Any young male who doesn't have the attention of a strong man in his life won't develop respect for people. There are thousands of stories of such young men who need to be shaped up later in life.

Good thing Gays have a lot of female friends. My sister is gay and raised her son with another woman. He had plenty of positive male role models between me and my brothers, which is something that most gays know is important, but not impossible with gay couples. He's 16 now and very well adjusted more so than a lot of boy that are raised by single parents that don't even realize the need.
But for my real question, does the first born get to deliver the second born?.............
