Such wonderful news today was shared by The Young and the Restless, Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea).

The actress revealed on her Instagram that she is pregnant and due in August.  And there is still more … she and her husband, Matt Katrosar, are expecting a bouncing baby boy.

Egan shared that although she had two previous miscarriages to not give up in a heart-warming post to all women who are trying to get pregnant and carry a baby to term.

Melissa expressed: “Very excited to share, Baby Boy Katrosar is set to arrive at the end of August💙As happy as we are, the journey to get here has been filled with lots of tears, stress, sadness, helplessness, hopelessness, and 2 miscarriages. To anyone going through this process or any kind of fertility issues, I feel you, I see you, you’re not alone. I wish I could jump through this phone and give you a big hug. Please do not give up hope. Keep trusting and have faith. You got this!!!”

Now word on how Y&R will deal with Egan’s pregnancy on-screen.  Will they write it in, or will Melissa be hiding her baby bump in scenes?

Whatever the case, we could not be happier for Missy and Matt!
