Posted on April 5, 2014

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi got her wish about being preggers as the same time as her Jersey Shore bestie Jenni “JWoww” Farley.

She told US Weekly that she and fiancé Jionni LaValle are expecting their second child. The couple is already parents to 19-month old Lorenzo.

And it was a little bit of a challenge to conceive but not that much.

“Jionni and I were trying to have our second baby since November, so every month we kept taking tests,” she told the mag. “I’m due in the fall around my wedding time. Busy year!”

The Snooki and JWoww star of the MTV reality TV series said she has no plans of putting off her wedding because of the pregnancy.

“I can clarify that our wedding is still on, and we are madly in love with each other,” she said, “We’ve waited long enough and cannot wait.”

To avoid the 27 hours of labor she endured for her first delivery, the pint-sized NY Times best seller said she planned to eat healthy and continue working out with her trainer sensibly.

She said she wants to look good in her wedding dress even while pregnant.
