Jacqueline Laurita's real household just got bigger.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star and her husband, Chris, welcomed their second son together Thursday, Nicholas Francis Laurita, a Bravo rep confirmed to E! News.

The duo are also parents to 6-year-old CJ, and Laurita has a 17-year-old daughter, Ashley, from her first marriage.

It was a hard-fought battle to add to their brood. We learned during her show's premiere episode that Laurita has had five miscarriages over the past seven years.

But though she signed up to be followed by Bravo's housewife-appreciating eye, the 38-year-old beauty wasn't sure whether she wanted the cameras with her in the delivery room.

"I don't know if I want people to see me like that," she told E! Online's Marc Malkin last month.

But Nicholas won't be the newest arrival in the Real Housewives neighborhood for long—the recently enhanced Teresa Giudice is expecting her fourth child in September.
