Snooki also sharad a photo on Instagram of all the flowers she received. "Love all of my flowers from my family and friends ???? Giovanna says thank you!!"The 26-year-old star's best friend, Jenni 'JWoww' Farley - who welcomed her daughter Meilani into the world two months ago - has already been to visit her pal and the new arrival.
Posting a picture on her website of her visit to the hospital, with Snooki cradling the baby in her arms, she wrote: "My best friend gave birth to a gorgeous baby girl ... Giovanna is a stunning 6.7lb perfect angel!(sic)"
JWoww recently admitted Snooki had been acting like a character in The Exorcist during her second pregnancy.
She said: "I hated my pregnancy. They say [baby girls] take your estrogen so your hormones are more depleted.
"I don't know if that's true or not because I never had a boy, but I'm looking at Nicole - she loved the pregnancy with Lorenzo. This one, I'm scared of her. It's like The Exorcist."
