Luckily, they make Ed Hardy onesies.
Snooki is pregnant. Just let that sink in for a moment, and then we, as a people, need to figure out a plan.
The 24-year-old reality star is three month's along, her 15 minutes have been ticking down for a while, and the NY Post believes she's trying to bankroll this baby into becoming "the next Kourtney Kardashian." (Snooki, she's like the least favorite Kardashian!) Last summer she said she didn't want to get married until she turned 26, but you know what they say, if you want to make Satan laugh, tell him your plans. We're picturing a quaint little wedding on the Shore, scripted of course, and possibly stretched out into a very special MTV miniseries.
The father of the unborn child is her boyfriend Jionni LaValle, and the couple have been together for just a little bit over a year, if you don't count the time off from their break-ups.

Currently MTV is filming her new show with J-Woww, but the network “doesn’t comment on series in production," so it's unclear what they're doing with this news (but at least NJ locals have banned her from liquor stores). It's also unclear if this is a going to be a guido or guidette. We would just like to take this time to say that adoption is a valid and very brave decision.
