Just call her Strawberry Shortcake!

I'm happy to report that Snooki's cravings during her second pregnancy are usually on the healthy side.

"I crave a lot of fruits, thank God," the former Jersey Shore star tells me exclusively. "Lots of strawberries!"

But she'll indulge from time to time. "I can eat a whole bag of salt and vinegar chips like it was nothing," she admitted.

Morning sickness has been about the same as when she was pregnant with her and fiancé Jionni LaValle's son, Lorenzo. "The good news is I'm entering by second trimester, so I'm getting my energy and mojo back," Snooki said. "But I was a cranky nauseous bitch these first weeks! Sorry, Jionni!"

Of course, they'll be finding out the sex of the baby, but still haven't picked out any names. "I've been Googling like a nut for unique Italian names," she said, adding that Lorenzo may not understand he's going to be big brother, but "I keep telling him the baby is coming and he smiles and says, 'The baby!'"

In her blog post this morning announcing the pregnancy, Snooki also defended herself against the haters.

"Regardless of what I say, there will always be hate toward me, my decisions and my family," she told me. "But when there's talk about my family, I will defend them. There have been so many made-up rumors about us lately that I have to stick up for us…We are literally so normal that reading things like that is like, 'Who makes this s--t up?'"

Haters, you've been warned!
