Snooki finally confirms pregnancy & calls out her haters

After weeks of speculation, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi has finally confirmed that she's expecting her second child with fiancé Jionni LaValle. In a very personal blog post entitled "The TRUTH About My Second Pregnancy," Polizzi talked parenthood and her upcoming nuptials, as well as sent a message to all of her haters.

"Jionni and I are so excited to confirm that we are expecting our second child!" she wrote. "Now knowing that our test results are good and our baby is healthy, we can finally talk about it!" Aww, such good news!

But while Polizzi couldn't be happier to become a parent again, she isn't too thrilled with the naysayers who still question her mothering skills, even over a year after giving birth to son, Lorenzo. Check out what she had to say after the jump!

In the post, Polizzi didn't hesitate to call out those making fun of her, urging them to "keep the 2012 jokes" to themselves and writing:

I've read a lot of negativity concerning my second pregnancy, and I NEVER comment on what strangers think about my life, but when it concerns my family, something needs to be said. I'm a momma bear and I will stick up for my family until the day I die, and even after that.

I can't help but agree with her there. I admit, I had my own doubts about Snooki becoming a mom when news of her first pregnancy spread. But she's shown herself to be nothing but a caring, responsible and dedicated parent since then and it's about time people give her the credit and respect she's due. Plus, she's right–the whole "Oh no, Snooki's reproducing" thing is definitely old.

Still, it's clear she's not letting the negativity get her down. In addition to welcoming a new bundle of joy, she and LaValle are also busy planning their wedding this fall–which will coincidentally take place around the time she's due. "I can clarify that our wedding is still on, and we are madly in love with each other," she told Us Weekly. "We've waited long enough and cannot wait."

Good for her! Clearly, she's about to have a great year–regardless of what other people might think. Congrats to her and LaValle on all of their happy news!
