Jersey Shore star Jennifer "JWOWW" Farley  is about to join best friend Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi in the yummy mummy club, according to a Christmas Day message posted on Farley's website. The announcement has already elicited a congratulatory frenzy in the Twittersphere.

Farley, 27, and fiancé Roger Matthew, 37, officially announced that they are pregnant with their first child on Wednesday. They did so with a post on Farley's website titled "We Are Expecting!" Their post boasts "we couldn't have wished for a better gift this Christmas," as well as a sonogram of the baby and a message to family, friends and fans.

The message reads:

"Merry Christmas from within! Roger and I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas gift this year! We wanted to share this exciting news with you all first because you have been a part of our lives these past few years and seen the love between Roger and me develop and blossom. We are so excited to share this new chapter of our lives with you as we become parents and create more memories with a new addition to the family! Thank you for all your love and support and for being there for us throughout the years! We are extremely happy and cannot wait for our bundle of joy to arrive! Happy holidays from our growing family to yours.

Love, Jenni, Roger and Baby Matthews"

"Baby Matthews" [sic] is expected to arrive in July 2014.

Farley and her husband took to Twitter to spread the good news with the expectant father tweeting "Santa brought us something really special this year!" and mother-to-be issuing a similar sentiment.

Messages of congratulations began to pour in immediately, including one from Farley's best friend Polizzi and their former Jersey Shore co-star Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola.

EOnline reports that Farley will be the third Jersey Shore star to become a parent. Most recently, Pauly D announced that he fathered a daughter named Amabella with former Hooters waitress Amanda Markert. Polizzi and fiancé Jionni LaValle are happy parents of their one-year-old son Lorenzo.

In a recent interview with In Touch Weekly, Polizzi said that she'd love to have another baby and wants to coordinate her pregnancy so that she and Farley conceive at the same time. She told In Touch that she'd love for herself and Farley to have children of opposite sexes so that they can grow up and date each other.

"I need to have a girl and [Farley has to] have a boy and then they can date. We'd be in-laws!" Polizzi said. "Can you imagine us spending Christmas together when we're 50? It would be awesome!"
