"The Young and the Restless" Actress Expecting Baby Girl
JPI
Mom's the word for Michelle Stafford.
Break out the pink bows! We are thrilled to congratulate "The Young and the Restless" actress Michelle Stafford, who is expecting her first child in December. Don't expect her character, Phyllis, to be hiding behind big potted plants, though. Michelle, who has painfully struggled with artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization for the past three years, announced she is expecting a little girl through a surrogate.
Stafford revealed to People.com that she is excited about the upcoming baby shower being thrown by pal Kirstie Alley -- and plans on being in the room when her baby girl is born.
Congrats, Michelle!!

Brush off all the haterz. Leave Phyllis alone. She hasn't done all the wrong there is in the world.
Dont...like...the...character...phyliss...but...goodluck!!
Love you Michelle!! I have had 7 kids all 55 on down to 42. But I am sooooooo happy for you!! I think a wonderful name could be - "Nevaeh", which is "Heaven" spelled backwords and will go with about any middle name like Nevaeh Michelle, etc. Bless this special event for you!!
First of all, I love the character Phyllis. I think you should name your daughter SHARON!!! LOL, I'm just kidding. I think a good name would be Mylaina or Melanie.
Congratulations. You were asking the name of your little girl that is due in December. My favorite name is Rose LaVelle
I think her name should be Autumn with red hair and green eyes born in the Fall if the first part of December.
Good luck.
Congrats Michelle. Good luck.
I have always loved the Phyliss character! In spite of what some say, she is the type of fun and funny, up for anything person I would like to have as a friend. Not only that but we BOTH are the type of people that go to the wall for a friend or loved one.
Since she has had such an ordeal having a child, I thought this little girl is a miracle! Milagro is miracle in spanish, but I think that being female it may be a milagra instead of milagro. Anyone know? But maybe Milagra Marie, or Milagro Michelle? Even if it has the o at the end instead of the a, it would still sound pretty.
Or another name that seems to fit is Grace, because it is such an act of grace and selflessness to carry and give birth for another person who is unable to. To offer such love into another's life is truly an act of grace and kindness. Grace Rose?? sounds perfect for a beautiful little girl.
Much luck Michelle. I hope your baby inherits your beautiful red hair. Long time fan. I love to hate Phyllis. You on the other hand are a fantastic actress. Thanks for making that character so believable and keeping some of us going for so long. I have loved to hate Phyllis since the Danny days. So you know how long I have watched Y&R, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I hope though that you leave Nick and get back together with Jack. I love you guys together especially now that you are friends. I know that is just a dream on my part but just hoping.
I hate the charcter Phyllis,but wish you good luck with the new baby.
