Twelve teens gave birth to seven boys and six girls — including a set of twins — during this season of “16 and Pregnant.” Viewers will see how much the babies have grown on tonight’s “16 and Pregnant Reunion” special, but in the meantime, we’re taking a look back at all of Season 5′s birth announcements — and retracing the path to each baby’s arrival. Get ready for an overload of cuteness:

Maddy’s daughter Aubrey. Shortly after Maddy met her boyfriend Cody on Facebook, the high school junior became pregnant. Cody didn’t see his baby girl after she was born, and the mother-daughter duo moved in with Maddy’s father.

Arianna’s son Aiden. Arianna and her baby-daddy Maurice fought constantly about providing financially for their son before he was even born. After Aiden’s arrival, Maurice brought over baby items and Arianna was hopeful that their little boy would have two loving parents — something neither of them had growing up.

Karley’s daughters Amayah and Amariah. Before the twins arrived, Karley‘s husband Tony couldn’t stop grumbling about living with her folks. Tension between the two only grew once they faced the challenges of caring for the babies, and the new mom couldn’t help but feel like a burden to her loved ones.

Courtney’s son Dayton. A pregnant Courtney and her boyfriend Scott struggled with her decision to be abstinent until marriage. Also adding to the ...

Baby Kaiser is here!

Jenelle Evans and boyfriend Nathan Griffith welcomed a son on Sunday, June 29, MTV News can confirm. The proud papa took to Twitter on Monday to share a snapshot of the newborn’s sweet feet:

The “Teen Mom 2” cast member’s brand-new boy, whose name is the German word for “emperor” (in case you didn’t know!), made his world debut at 1:57pm, weighing in at 7 pounds, 1 ounce. The little munchkin joins Jenelle’s son Jace and Nathan’s daughter Emery in the family fold. We’re sure his grandma Babs is already cooing “Kai-ZUHHHH” as we speak…

Jenelle had announced in December that she and her beau were expecting their first child together. The couple, who celebrated their one-year anniversary last month, recently revealed why they felt it was the right time to start their own family.

“Jace is getting older — he’s gonna be almost five — so, it’s like, I don’t want him to be so separated from his siblings,” Jenelle said in the “Teen Mom 2 Featured Moment” clip below.

And now that her divorce from Courtland Rogers is finalized (we’re still giddy over Babs’ brilliant response to the news), Jenelle’s days of being a Miss may soon be numbered (Nathan did hint as much! ). We certainly know where they can find a flower girl and two ring bearers…

Take a look back at an excited Jenelle telling Jace he’s going to be a big brother in the clip below, and ...

Twelve girls from this past season of “16 and Pregnant” will come together and give updates since becoming teenage mothers on Tuesday’s “16 and Pregnant Reunion Special.”

When we last saw Arianna, the young mom was hopeful that she and her baby daddy Maurice would be able give their son Aiden two loving parents — something neither had growing up. But that has proven impossible and, in the sneak peek below, Maurice voices his frustration about not being able to see his baby boy — while Arianna can’t even bear to look at him.

“He’s a deadbeat father, and he can’t own up to it,” a somber Arianna tells host Dr. Drew. But Maurice disagrees, saying that he has brought over items, saved $3,200 for the boy and hired a lawyer to get custody.

Arianna refutes the claims, saying she hasn’t received anything from Maurice, or a letter from his attorney.

“My son is six months old,” she says. “If he really loved my son, this would have been done a long time ago.”

When Dr. Drew urges the couple to try to communicate, Arianna refuses, saying she doesn’t “need to talk to [Maurice].” And, referring to the gifts and money Maurice claims to have provided for the child, she asks, “Where is it? I’ve got none of it.”

That’s when Maurice stands up — and throws a wad of cash over her head. In turn, she storms off stage.

“All that s**t,” Maurice exclaims as Arianna is leaving. “Pick it up. That’s ...

This week’s episode of “Catfish” marked a first for the series: After Nev and Max tried to orchestrate two face-to-face meetings between Miranda and Gabby, the latter didn’t show.

But it’s certainly not the only “first” from Season 3. Here’s a look back at some of the most unique moments so far:

First non-romantic storyline: Lucille and Kidd Cole
Lucille didn’t contact the super-sleuths because she had a crush on Kidd — she wanted to uncover the truth about the man who claimed to be a music producer working for Kanye West‘s G.O.O.D. label. She worried that he might be using her for her cash — and sure enough, Kidd turned out to be a con artist.

First phone-throwing: Nev
When the Internet detective couldn’t contain his frustration with Kidd Cole, he tossed the scammer’s iPhone into the Potomac River — and totally showed off his gangsta side.

First time someone was catfished by a family member: Antwane and Carmen
For three years, Antwane thought he was having a relationship with Tony — but he was really talking to his cousin Carmen. The kicker: Carmen was the one who contacted Nev and Max to help her lovesick relative. She later revealed the reason behind her scheming ways: Antwane had once humiliated her by calling her “fat-ass Kelly Price,” and she wanted to turn the tables on him — in front of cameras.

First matching tattoos: Solana and Elijah
Even though the ...

Nicole Polizzi is gearing up to say “I do” — and the future Mrs. Jionni LaValle shared a sneak peak at a truly unique veil option on her Celebuzz site:

Something tells us the “Snooki & JWOWW” star won’t actually don the Disney-inspired headpiece at her “Great Gatsby”-themed nuptials (she’ll be trying to channel Daisy Buchanan, after all), but she still looks every bit the blushing bride-to-be — even with plush mouse ears.

“Wedding stuff with my main squeeze,” she captioned the above snapshot, in which the guidette is flashing a big smile as she poses with her son Lorenzo. Perhaps she purchased the adorable accessory during the family’s recent trip to the Magic Kingdom?

The former “Jersey Shore” cast member also added a selfie on Facebook, along with the simple caption “#BrideMode.”

Snooki's Facebook

This isn’t the first time Nicole has teased a possible wedding look — she recently showed off a Mermaid-style gown and said that while it wasn’t “the one,” she “can’t wait” to reveal her actual frock. But we want to see it now!

+ Excited to find out what Nicole finally chooses to wear on her big day? What style do you think would suit her best? Sound off in the comments!

Nev Schulman is offering expert advice on how to navigate the rocky roads of online dating.

The Internet detective, who has coached and guided legions of the lovesick on “Catfish,” bestowed his wisdom during a Facebook chat with Glamour magazine. Tops on his list of do’s and don’ts: If you’re interested in someone, don’t delay arranging some face time.

“Meet up ASAP,” Nev said. “If somebody is serious about pursuing a relationship, they will make the effort to see you.”

His next “don’t” is a biggie — mainly because it involves that smartphone feature we’re all guilty of overusing.

“If you want a guy to show you he likes you, don’t text with him,” Nev said. “Tell him if he wants to see you, he simply has to come and find you.”

He also isn’t a fan of emojis. “Use them sparingly,” said Nev, whose upcoming book, “In Real Life,” explores what he’s learned about digital dating.

Another tip: Googling, or searching for your prospective paramour on social media, is crucial — or as his co-host Max Joseph calls it, “digital contraception.”

Most of all, Nev shared, don’t do online dating — do real life dating. It’ll keep both parties honest, and intentions will be much more clear.

“Typing ‘I love you’ is much easier than looking someone in the eyes and telling them,” he said. And ultimately, all affairs of the heart need work, whether they started online or not. “Every relationship takes work and compromise.”

Do you have any dating ...

When you think of pregnancy ailments, the first things that usually come to mind are nausea, fatigue, back pain, perpetual pit stops and swollen feet. And, as if those weren’t bad enough, Jenni Farley can now add frostbite to the list.

Here’s the “disgusting” and “gross” — her words, not ours — photographic evidence from her website:

JenniFarley.com

Let’s all say it together: OUCH. This surely hasn’t been an easy pregnancy for Jenni.

So how did the “Snooki & JWOWW” star, who’s due to give birth to a daughter in a few short weeks, develop the medical condition? By overusing an ice pack.

“[The baby] finally popped, and I feel like I’m walking around like a sumo wrestler lol!” Jenni writes in an entry titled “Pregnancy Update: My Crazy 9th Month…” “She’s causing pretty bad sciatica and even though my doctor said it is okay to take Tylenol, I like to avoid it all costs.” (Sciatica is pain along the sciatic nerve, which goes from the lower back, through the hips and down each leg). So instead of taking medication, the mom-to-be opted for an ice pack wrapped in cloth.

“I’m the only person in June who got severe frostbite,” the former “Jersey Shore” castie says, adding that her injuries took one month to heal.

Frostbite and sciatica aside, Jenni just reached an exciting pregnancy milestone: her last ultrasound. And how is her mini-me looking in the womb?

For starters, she’s ready for her close-up, ...

In an inspirational tweet, Amber Portwood says her troubled history has only helped her grow into the woman she is today.

The former “Teen Mom” cast member has certainly turned her life around after battling drug addiction and spending time behind bars (she was released early from prison last November after serving 17 months for violating probation surrounding a drug possession case). And after taking to Twitter with the heartfelt reflection yesterday, the 24-year-old received a mountain of support from her social media followers:

But it’s not all serious sentiments when it comes to Amber’s status updates: She also likes to get silly from time to time with her adorable five-year-old daughter, Leah, as evidenced by this Miley Cyrus-inspired pose:

We couldn’t be more thrilled to see the mother-daughter duo in such good spirits. Keep the sweet tweets — and snapshots — coming, ladies!

When you get a case of the munchies, do you raid the fridge for foie gras? Do you know what foie gras is? Not to worry, it’s irrelevant.

Conceived by resident MTV jokester Rob Dyrdek, the network’s new cooking competition series, “Snack-Off,” will feature munchie aficionados facing off to determine who can whip up the most memorable dish using random kitchen ingredients like fish sticks, canned oysters, chocolate and much more. As host and chef Eddie Huang puts it in the trailer below, this show is for “dumpster divers and fridge forgers.”

Huang will mentor the contestants throughout a series of snack-inspired challenges, while the playful judge’s panel — model and foodie Chrissy Teigen, chef Jason Quinn and stand-up comedian Yassir Lester — will decide the cheftestants’ fate each week. By the looks of it, some of the plates will be a hit with the trio. Others, not so much.

So what are these guys and gals playing for? A cash prize, their recipe published in the “Snack-Off” cookbook and the highly coveted golden spork necklace! Yep, it’s gonna get ugly.

Catch a first look at “Snack-Off,” and be sure to bring your appetite when the show premieres Thursday, July 10 at 10:30/9:30c!

Cue the “Pomp and Circumstance,” because we have a newly minted graduate to applaud: Jenelle Evans‘ son Jace!

The “Teen Mom 2” cast member’s four-year-old celebrated his pre-school completion in a ceremony on Friday, and naturally, his proud mom documented the memorable milestone with a handful of photographs on Facebook. We can’t help but marvel at Jace’s growth — it seems like only yesterday he was a newborn, and now he’s collecting a diploma. We are officially verklempt.

Jenelle Evans' Facebook

Jace couldn’t look any happier — or cuter — in his bright blue cap and gown. The man of the hour posed with his grinning mama (who is due to give birth to another boy at the end of this month) and beaming grandma Barbara. Jenelle also captured a candid moment of her boyfriend Nathan Griffith sharing a bear hug with Jace. Although we can’t see the youngster’s expression, Nathan’s face sure says it all: LOVE.

Jenelle Evans' Facebook

“Time for the big kid school now!” Jenelle wrote along with the heartwarming snapshots. And we’re certain Jace will take his new class by storm!

Jenelle Evans' Facebook

Before Kindergarten in the fall, Jace will be busy with summer vacation, which no doubt will include beach trips and visits to the pool. And then there’s also that new role he’ll be playing: big brother to Baby Kaiser.

Be sure to offer him a big congrats in the comments!
