The tiny meatball is almost here! 

Snooki was feeling soooo ready to have her baby. Her body was so uncomfortable that it reduced her to tears, but Jionni calmly reassured her that she was doing great and that she didn't have much longer to go. Sometimes they seem like they have absolute fluff for brains, but they really seem to love each other. After all the relationship drama Snooki went through on Jersey Shore, it's nice to see her settle down with someone real and supportive. 

Jenni's father made an appearance on the show, when he attended a cookout hosted by Jenni and Roger along with some of her girlfriends. What would have been a boring barbecue turned into a comedy show when her father hilariously tried to hit on one of her friends and joined her in the hot tub! What a character! 

Snooki and Jionni did a dry run of the trip they will take to the hospital when their son is born. To make things more realistic (and comical) Snooki spilled a glass of water to simulate her water breaking. They even called to fake out JWOWW and pretended Snooki's water broke for realz. They left the front door to the house open and got lost on their way to the hospital, so I think it's a good thing they tested it out before the real thing! Now they know which way not to go when their little meatball is ready to enter the world. 

To prepare for the birth, they attended a lamaze class. It would have been a very informative session if Snooki and Jionni didn't visualize one of the birthing poses as a woman pooping and giggle away. There was one other couple in the class and they couldn't learn anything with the laugh factory sitting right next to them. 

Being her diva self, Snooki decided that she needed a dress to wear home from the hospital after giving birth, so she hit up Mandee with JWOWW. Before long, she was in pain and they had to head home. I'm sure that JWOWW wasn't happy about that because she wanted to go wedding dress shopping. No Roger hasn't popped the question yet, but she wants to check out some threads for the big day she knows is coming soon. 

It turns out that the young parents to be should have paid more attention in that class, because the next night, Snooki's water broke! It was two weeks before her due date, and they hadn't even gotten the baby furniture delivered yet. Upon receiving the news that Snooki's water broke, her parents rushed to be by her side.  Jenni and Roger also rushed down to make sure they were there for the birth, but little Lorenzo was taking his sweet time. To kill time, they headed to Jionni's house and set up the bassinet and changing table they bought her as a gift to use until their furniture arrived. 

Although Snook was in a lot of pain, the baby didn't come this episode, but next week, it looks like we'll get to see baby 'renzo make his entrance! Yay! Stay tuned!
