Jacqueline Laurita's younger brother Tommy and his wife Maryrose welcomed their first son Noah Patrick on July 3. The couple's bundle of joy weighed in at a healthy 8 lbs. 8 oz. And Jacqueline tells the Dish that "He is adorable. My kids fell instantly in love with their new cousin and we are enjoying him so much already."

Jacqueline is also thrilled to be the godmother to Noah, though she wasn't sure whether she was going to have a godson or goddaughter before his arrival.

"We had no idea the sex of the baby until he was born," she says. "So we were anxiously waiting to find out!"

Jacqueline also reveals that there was a bit of drama with the birth: Noah was born breech and by c-section, but so far, Noah's been adapting to the world quite well.

"[He has] a strong set of lungs!" she says. "And my sister-in-law Maryrose is already home recovering and doing well. I have no doubt her and my brother will make absolutely amazing parents. We are so excited to watch him grow up!"
