Steve Burton scores baby announcement touchdown

Another CBS Daytime star is awaiting a visit from the stork. Steve Burton announced on Twitter that he and his wife are expecting baby number three.

Daytime stars have been having babies since, well, since the dawn of the soap. Perhaps the only thing that has changed is the way that the stars announce their big news.

The Young and the Restless' Steve Burton (Dylan McAvoy) may have created an entirely new category for announcing a baby-to-be, the "Twitter by the way."

"Can't wait for the games today," Burton shared, referring to the NFL Conference Championships. "[By the way] I'm having another kid...have a great day. God bless."

This will be the third child for Burton and his wife, Sheree. Daughter Makena Grace was born in 2003, and son Jack Marshall was born in 2006.

After his initial announcement, Burton returned to Twitter to share some of his trademark humor.

"Now I want 4 and my wife said settle down," Burton added.

Burton baby number three is due mid-July.

Burton joined The Young and the Restless in January 2013. Prior to that, he enjoyed a lengthy run as General Hospital's Jason Morgan, exiting the role in October 2012.
