Jersey Shore‘s Deena Cortese is going to be a momma! The 31-year-old reality star took to Instagram on Monday to announce that she’s expecting.
“Chris and I Decided to wait until we were ready to spill the beans! Now that we are safely into our second trimester.. us and our little monkey are ready to tell the world our little family is growing,” she captioned the adorable announcement. “We have a sweet little boy on the way! We Are truly blessed and our hearts are filled with so much joy and happiness.”
The photos feature an all-American theme, with a red, white and blue sign declaring the couple has a “firecracker” on the way. Many photos also include the couple showing off their baby’s sonogram, with one especially original idea where Deena’s husband, Chris Buckner, is seen with the sonogram sticking out of his back pocket, while staring lovingly at his wife.
While all the couple’s pics are adorable, my personal favorites are definitely the ones featuring their puppy. The couple included their dog with a paw-printed sign explaining they’ll get a new best friend, as well as becoming a guard dog for the baby in December 2018. If that isn’t the sweetest and most clever way to announce your due date, I don’t know what is.
In addition to their pregnancy announcement shoot, the pair also shared footage from their gender reveal.
This will be the first child for Deena and her husband, who tied the knot in October 2017, where they were joined by Deena’s Jersey Shore family.
Congratulations to this happy couple and their growing family! Here’s hoping we get some baby arrival shoot is as extra as this announcement.
