Here are some photos of a heavily pregnant Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi last Thursday in Manchester, New Jersey. Little did Snooks realize that in just a few short days, she’d already have given birth to little Lorenzo Dominic LaValle, her first child with fiancé Jionni LaValle. Snooki’s rep has already revealed that the baby has been bestowed with the nickname “Enzo” and has weighed in at 6 lb, 5 oz, which is small but not a surprise since both Snooki and Jionni are on the tiny side themselves. Jenni “J-Woww” Farley has already revealed that “Lorenzo is the cutest baby I’ve ever seen.” So far, there’s no word on whether the baby came out orange or not. We’ll just have to wait and see on that detail.
Back when the Snooki’s pregnancy news broke, she and J-Woww were shooting their MTV spinoff show. Sadly, I’ve been watching the episodes, which are so dull compared to the antics of the full “Jersey Shore” crew with much less stupidity on display. Mostly, the show is about how exhausted Snooki is because she’s preggers, and how bummed she is that she can’t go boozing. Also, J-Woww and her boyfriend, Roger, fight — a lot. I will say that the girls’ spinoff is at least slightly better than “The Pauly D. Project,” for which I couldn’t even finish watching the first episode.
Still, it’s a relief that Snooki never picked up the bottle once she learned of her pregnancy (even though J-Woww was smoking in their shared flat on Episode 10 last week). Over the past few months, Snickers has also expressed her fear at becoming a first-time mom, telling In Touch that “I’m nervous that I’m not going to be a good mom,” but that she looks forward to “being a MILF, for sure.” She also told Us Weekly that “Everyone will be surprised to see a different side of me. I’m loving, caring, sensitive, protective and very maternal, no matter what people might think.” Snooki already surprised the “Shore” audience by opting to live in a separate house while pregnant and shooting Season 6 of the show, so maybe she’ll be just fine as a mom. Stranger things have happened, right? Here’s the birth announcement:
No need to formally congratulate them: an enthusiastic fist pump should do the trick.
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and her love of two years, Jionni LaValle, welcomed their first child together Sunday in Livingston, NJ, a son named Lorenzo, a rep for the pint-size star tells Us Weekly.
“The world just got another G***o!!! Lorenzo Dominic LaValle has entered the world weighing 6lbs, 5oz. Nicole, Jionni & Enzo are doing great!” her rep shares.
An ecstatic Polizzi shared her big news on Twitter early Sunday morning. “I am SO IN LOVE with my son Lorenzo Dominic!” she wrote. “I had my little man last night, healthy at 6 lbs! HE’S MY WORLD.”
The well wishes are already rolling in for the happy couple; Polizzi’s castmate Pauly D sent her a sweet tweet Sunday morning. “Congrats @snooki And @JLaValle !!!! I’m Officially Uncle Pauly !!! #MyMeatballHadAMeatball,” he wrote.
Snooki, 24, and LaValle, whom she met at Seaside Heights hotspot Karma in 2010, first shared their happy news — that they are engaged and set to become parents — with Us earlier this year.
The reformed party girl admitted she knew their announcement would cause a bit of a stir among her critics. “I have different priorities now,” the reality star assured Us. “I don’t care what anybody else thinks. As long as I know I’m ready and he’s ready.” Added LaValle, “We are not going to screw this up.”

Us Weekly will probably get the exclusive baby photos (since they also got the exclusive baby announcement) in a few weeks or months, and I imagine that while the “Snooki” persona may at least partially be an act, little Lorenzo has his work cut out for him in life. Also a challenge? Snooki will need to keep her “Shore” antics a secret from this poor kid. As in, nobody had better let him watch any of the episodes, especially the Season 3 moments when Snickers walked around a club at closing time and randomly chose a dude (Jionni) to take home. Then she immediately climbed into bed and started banging the guy while he insisted (correctly) that she didn’t even know his name. Of course, that didn’t stop him either. Then there was the Season 4 episode when Daddy visited Mommy in Italy, and she flashed her kooka in a nightclub. Then since Mommy and Daddy were fighting, Daddy left and Mommy slept with Vinny. At a certain point, however, Uncle Situation will probably end up babysitting, and he’ll be sure to pop a few key DVDs into the player. Oh, this poor child.
Congrats to Snooki and Jionni!

I think she’ll be a good mom. Hopefully this poor baby won’t watch Jersey Shore. That or he can join the support group for children of embarrassing famous parents that Lola Leon will one day lead.
I think she’ll be a great mom and her trashy days are behind her.
Hopefully so. At least Lorenzo Dominic is a surprisingly normal name.
congrats Snooki!!!!
I think motherhood has been good for Snooki! Thus far, she already seems more mature. I think she’ll be a dedicated mom and turn her life around like Nicole Richie!
Wish all the best to Snooki and Jionni! They seem like a sweet and well matched couple.
She’s a sweet person, I think she’ll be a good mom too.
btw, she has horrible fashion taste!
She’s going to trip out the first time he spits up in her extensions.
If this ends up on the cover of People Magazine this week, I am canceling my subscription.
I don’t wanna live on this planet anymore.
Well considering the fact that they are living in his parent’s basement, she doesn’t need to be a good mom. That kid will be raised by its grandmother while Mom and Dad go out and get hammered and act like morons. Incidentally the next Snooki’s and Jwow show is taking place in Manchester NJ because no where else would give them filming permits. And Manchester is basically in the middle of the Pine Barrens. Their 15 minutes is just about up (thank god).
I’ve never watched Jersey Shore so I admittedly know nothing about her other than what I’ve heard on gossip sites here and there (although some things I’ve read her say about motherhood has bothered me to the point I worry for the baby a little), but since she seems a little attention whore-y, I just looked up her twitter and sure enough, she’s twittering all about it already. I sense we have another Hilary Duff on our hands.
You know, I couldn’t stand her, or any of the Jersey Shore people, from just all the articles I read about them. I finally gave in and watched the shows on Netflix, and I was shocked to not only be entertained, but to actually sort of like Snooki. I think they are all goofballs, and I’m amazed at what we call ‘celebrities’ these days, but, besides that, Snooki seems sweet and goodhearted, overall. And funny as hell, unintentionally. I hope this motherhood phase works out for her, and I suspect she’ll be a good mom. She seems to have calmed down quite a bit, though, time will tell whether she’ll be able to focus on that, and not be allured by MTV’s money. I’m sure they’re coming up with some sort of other trash, degrading show they’d like her to star in.
I like the name Lorenzo, but not “Enzo”; reminds me of Elmo. The worst are the pants in the last pic…the stone washed look.
Good luck to the baby….
Oh God! It REPRODUCED???!!!!!
Whenever I hear of some celebrity giving birth, I always think of how long Jessica Simpson’s kid stayed in her. I am amazed Snooki gave birth already lol
