The first-time mom has been adjusting just fine to motherhood after giving birth. "Lorenzo loves waking mommy up! I never knew how excited I'd be to be woken up having to feed and change a diaper!" she tweeted Aug. 30. "I f—ing love him.
And Snooki predicts her son will be a big star at the VMAs next year. "I hope you guys are missing me on the red carpet," she said in heartfelt message to her cast members, "but next year I will be there rocking my leopard print and Lorenzo is going to win a VMA for Best New Artist."
