On Friday, April 2, Deena shared some sweet photos from her maternity photoshoot that took place on March 27. Deena posted a teaser of the photos on her Instagram account last week, posting a black-and-white shot of her with her son CJ.

Deena Almost Didn’t Do Maternity Photos & Revealed Her Thoughts on Having More Kids
Deena admitted that she almost didn’t have maternity photos taken. In the caption of her Instagram post, Deena said that she was leaning toward not doing photos, mainly because this is her second child. However, she ultimately decided to have the pictures done because she and Chris may not have any more children in the future.
“I was on the fence on doing Maternity photos this time around being it’s our second .. but I thought about it and this might be our last pregnancy and I really wanted to include CJ.. we went to the same place we did CJs maternity photos and it felt so perfect,” she captioned the photo set.
Deena and Chris went with a baby blue theme for their maternity photos. She wore a floor-length, light blue gown with a lace overlay, while Chris wore a pair of denim jeans and a light blue short-sleeve top, matching with the couple’s toddler.
Deena shared the sweet memories with her 3.2 million Instagram followers, many of whom commented on the pics. Of course, she got plenty of love from her Jersey Shore co-stars, too!
“Beautifully stunning!!! I love them all so much,” Lauren Sorrentino commented. Her husband Mike added the heart-eyes emoji.
“Crying !! So beautiful,” added Snooki.
