The Jersey Shore’s Jenni Farley and fiancé Roger Matthews welcomed a baby girl on July 13.

The couple, who have had an on-again-off-again relationship for years, is now excited to enter the world of parenthood. Farley and Matthews announced they were expecting back in December and then later amended that they were having a girl. Farley confessed that she was having a hard time with her pregnancy this April, but it seems she is now happy to spend time with her baby girl!

“Jenni and Roger are so excited to welcome the newest guidette Meilani Alexandra Mathews to the world weighing 7 lbs., 13 oz.,” said Farley’s rep in a statement to MTV. “Meilani and her parents are doing great and are happy and healthy. Meilani is already looking to trade her baby bottle for barbells.”

JWoww and her best friend, Nicole Polizzi—also a former Jersey Shore cast mate—were pregnant at the same time. This reportedly made the experience a more pleasant one for Jenni; what’s better than having your best friend by your side during this special time? Polizzi has yet to give birth to her second child with longtime boo and fiancé Jionni LaValle.

“She’s always been by my side,” said Jenni of Nicole and their friendship. “And then to find out that she’s pregnant, this made me feel a thousand times better, ’cause I get to experience this with her.”

Congratulations to the happy family!
