Joel Madden’s older brother Josh told reporters that Nicole and Joel’s baby is due sometime in the next week.

“That’s all we know. We don’t know what sex it is. We don’t know any names. I’m being completely honest, I swear!…I got them some clothes, that’s what I’m into. We’re very excited.”

I wonder if she’ll have a boy or girl? I’m going to guess a girl. Gut feeling, so I’m probably wrong.

Hopefully she doesn’t name her kid something off-the-wall as has been the trend the past few years with celebrities. Like, ‘Happy Madden’, or ‘Stitch Richie’…

Heh.

Nicole Richie had a frightening health scare over the Christmas holiday - only weeks before she is due to give birth to her first child.

On December 26th, Richie was at the home of boyfriend, Joel Madden, when she became light-headed and dizzy. Joel rushed her to the hospital where the doctor checked her over and gave her the OK to return home.

A source told Star magazine,

“Her heart was racing - she was swearing and had the terrifying feeling the world was crashing in on her. She was scared to death that her baby’s health was in jeopardy. Thank God Joel was there to take care of her. He immediately called their doctor to say he would bring her in.

She’s been going at a frantic pace for months. Her body let her know it was time to slow down and make the baby’s health her top priority.”

I’m just surprised that she’s only had a couple health scares this entire time. Most of us thought it was practically impossible for her to procreate in the first place!

“I think that whether we have a boy or a girl they’re gonna be so embarrassed of Joel’s tattoos and my tattoos - because I have nine… You never want to be like your parents… I have a feeling that they just won’t get them.”

-Nicole Richie is convinced her kid won’t dig tattoos.

Nicole Richie’s pregnancy itself has gone amazingly well, but there is something about it that is driving her crazy.

Not finding out the sex of her child.

Richie and boyfriend Joel Madden vowed they would wait until the birth to find out. But Richie says it’s not as easy as she thought it would be.

“We don’t know…We’re waiting to find out, which has been a lot harder on me than it has on Joel because I’m so nosy, I like to know everything. If he wasn’t at every doctor’s appointment, I probably would have found out by now behind his back and not told him. He’s been in the room every time, so I haven’t had a chance to sneak away and ask the doctor.”

The couple is also reportedly having a difficult time agreeing on a name for the child.

According to Star magazine Nicole Richie was rushed to L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after she had some spotting.

Richie, who is four-months pregnant, and boyfriend Joel Madden apparently both panicked because spotting may be a sign of a coming miscarriage. Not to mention how Nicole’s past drug use and eating disorder issues may affect her pregnancy.

Troy Hailparn, M.D., a San Antonio ob-gyn (who is not Nicole’s doctor) gave his opinion on Nicole’s unhealthy past and her current pregnancy.

“She’s absolutely at a greater danger of miscarrying than most women. Through some miracle, she managed to get pregnant and survive the first trimester, when most women with her history would suffer a miscarriage — but she’s not out of the woods yet.”
