Snooki cries over her "perfect" baby boy when she introduces him to television audiences on Jersey Shore.
The 24-year-old star and her fiancé Jionni LaValle welcomed Lorenzo Dominic LaValle into the world on August 26.
The tot makes his reality TV debut on Thursday night's episode of the MTV show.
A newly-released teaser shows reformed wild child Snooki overcome with emotion.
"I'm just really happy that Lorenzo is here... I love him, he's perfect," she coos.
Snooki, real name Nicole Polizzi, appears overwhelmed in the clip.
Her voice trembling, she explains it's simply because she's always dreamed of having her own "little meatball".
"I've always wanted a kid and he's here and he's healthy and beautiful," she explains.
Snooki joins castmates Paul 'Pauly D' DelVecchio, Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino, Jenni 'JWoww' Farley, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Sammy 'Sweetheart' Giancola, Vinny Guadagnino and Deena Cortese in the final season of Jersey Shore.
She is also currently filming the second season of her MTV spin-off Snooki & JWoww.
