Jersey Shore: Family Vacation: Deena Cortese Reveals 2nd Son's Name
Jersey Shore has had quite a few roommates come and go over the years. Although Deena was not one of the original roommates, she has been a part of the wild bunch for quite some time. Deena made her first Jersey Shore debut during season 3. At the time, Snooki had suggested to production to add Deena to the cast following Angelina's departure from the show. Deena and Snooki instantly became a dynamic meatball duo on the show. Despite Snooki's retirement from the show, Deena has stuck around for the long haul. Throughout later episodes of the original series, Deena's now-husband Chris Buckner made a few appearances. The two got married in 2017 before having their first son just two years later. Back in October of this year, Deena announced that her family of three would soon become a family of four as she is pregnant with her second child. Deena is due to give birth to her second son in May of 2021.
Deena may not be close to her due date yet, but she is definitely getting ready to add another son to her family. People reported that the Jersey Shore star took to Instagram to announce the name of her second son. Deena shared a pregnancy update along with a growing baby bump photo comparison between both of her pregnancies. She started off the lengthy caption by writing, "20 weeks on left with Cameron Theo Buckner 20 weeks on right with Christopher John Buckner." Deena posed in the same blue dress for both photos. In her pregnancy update sign, Deena shared that the baby is the size of a banana. She is craving oranges and candy and is feeling "merry and bright" while also a little tired. Deena's almost two-year-old son added his own touch to the sign with some of his doodles.
Although Deena did not share how she and her husband decided on a name for their son, she did give a pregnancy update on how she is feeling. She explained that this pregnancy is drastically different from her first. With her first pregnancy, Deena knew she was pregnant from the second she found out. She was constantly sick up until week 15. From then on, baby CJ would kick and turn constantly as a little reminder of his existence. Now, as a toddler, CJ is still full of energy. Deena went on to point out the major differences with this pregnancy. She admitted to sometimes forgetting she was pregnant at first. For the first 18 weeks, she felt pretty "normal" aside from some extra tiredness. It was not until around week 19 that Deena began to feel her baby moving around. By comparing her pregnancies, Deena shared that she feels she can already tell the differences in personalities between her sons. She believes that her second son will be calmer and more like her husband Chris. Deena is hopeful that all goes well with her upcoming anatomy exam.
It is crazy how different each pregnancy can be. It seems like CJ is the little boy meatball version of Deena, while Cameron may turn out to be on the calmer more laid-back side. Deena's first son was born just a few months before Snooki's youngest son. Now, her second son will be due around the same time as Mike "The Situation" and wife Lauren's first son. Here's hoping Deena has a smooth rest of her pregnancy and Jersey Shore: Family Vacation fans will get to see Deena's latest addition to her family upon his arrival in 2021.
