Jenni Farley, best known as JWoww on The Jersey Shore, is expecting a baby with fiance Roger Matthews. Farley and BFF and former Jersey Shore costar Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi recently joked about having kids around the same age–hopefully a boy and a girl–who might one day marry. Their plan assures the two girlfriends will always stay close–and become in-laws, too. Now that dream–albeit a bit silly and very typical of their Jersey Shore personas–is at least halfway underway. Snooki already has a son, Lorenzo, but is planning on becoming pregnant with another child soon.

Jenni Farley and her fiance announced their exciting news via their Christmas card. Instead of a photo of the happy couple on the card, they included their ultrasound image and the announcement of their soon-to-be family member. Their new baby is due in July.

Jenni Farley also shared the couple’s blessed news on her website.

“Merry Christmas from within!” JWoww wrote in a letter that she just posted on her website. “Roger and I couldn’t have asked for a better Christmas gift this year! We wanted to share this exciting news with you all first because you have been a part of our lives these past few years and seen the love between Roger and I develop and blossom.

“We are so excited to share this new chapter of our lives with you as we become parents and create more memories with a new addition to our family!” she continued. “Thank you for all your love and support and for being there for us throughout the years! We are extremely happy and cannot wait for our bundle of joy to arrive!”

JWoww and Matthews became engaged back in September of 2012 when he popped the question and presented her with a 5-carat rock–accented by even more diamonds–another 2.5 carats of pink and white gems. The two have yet to set a wedding date. Perhaps they’ll tie the knot before their baby is born?

A pregnancy is excitement enough, but when shared with the world as a Christmas gift it seems even more thrilling. Congrats to both the Jersey Shore star and her fiance on their wonderful news.
