Just because pregnant Snooki was once a hard-partying single gal who never met a cocktail she didn't drink, that doesn't mean she'll be a bad mom.

We're serious, people.

Get ready for Snooki 2.0, says one of her Jersey Shore cohorts...

“It’s a different Snooki,” Ronnie Magro told us today while promoting tonight’s season finale of Jersey Shore (airing at 10 p.m. on MTV). “She’s doing really good. She’s not drinking. She’s got her act together and I’m really happy for her.”

“Overnight, she’s like this wild, crazy Snooki and now she’s pregnant and engaged and growing up,” he added.

Ronnie recently saw the preggers poofhead. “She said she’s feeling good,” he said. “Not too much morning sickness...She’s actually eating healthy.”

Like costar Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola, Ronnie defended Snooki against the haters.

“The fact that she likes to have a good time has nothing to do with what kind of parent she’s going to be,” he said. “It’s her life and whatever’s going to make her happy at the end of the day, she has to realize that that’s what she has to do.”

Meanwhile, Ronnie appears in an upcoming episode of the reboot of MTV's Punk'd in which he believes his stylist gets taken hostage inside a liquor store during a robbery gone bad. He laughed, “When you get punk’d, you’ve done good."
