It seems that the baby has dropped.

i can’t really see them having a girl, i think its gonna be a boy.
- erin on
I thought the same thing too Miss…she definitely looks like she has dropped.
- andrea on
Yup I think it’s a boy too erin, I thought same thing with christina from the beginning.

I keep checking CBB to hear of either Christina’s or Nicole giving birth already! LOL I’m soo anxious for them! Talk about celeb baby addiction!! 
- Doreen on
I can’t wait to find out what she has. i have been feeling the “boy vibe” from her too. although i think it would be really nice for her to have a girl. it seems like there haven’t been a lot of baby girls born lately, at least to the more famous celebs. either way, it’s exciting and i wish them the best!

Nikki is all baby!I am so happy for the both of them.I’m sure this baby is going to bring the both of them joy.She is all belly.I think she’s gonna have that baby either before the weeks out or the weekend.I can’t wait either for both her and Xtina to have their babies.I would actually like to see her with a girl and Xtina with a boy.I think both will have girls I don’t know why,lol.
Sarah’s note: Well, Christina has confirmed she’s expecting a son, so no girl for her, at least not yet!

wishing her God’s blessings with the delivery
- Dani on
All belly!
Any idea where she got her shoes? I think they are so cute!
- Kim on
i agree, she has dropped! i also get a boy vibe from her too and i dont know why. not much longer and i cant wait to hear what she has!
- sara on
Since Nicole seems to be carrying differently than Christina, and her belly also appears to be a bit smaller than Christina’s, I’m guessing she’s going to have a girl!
- Annoyomus on
I have thought girl from the the time they first announced they were expecting, don’t know why. Just had a hunch. Guess we will soon see. Good luck to them.
- amber on
Can’t wait to see if they have a boy or girl…my guess is it’s gonna be a boy
- Melissa on
Aww they look so beautiful <33
i have a weird feeling its going to be a girl, im excited and happy for them though i keep checking here to see if they had it yet, and i heard she is having a natural birth instead of a c cection is that true??
Sarah’s note: We heard from our source, who’s a friend of Joel’s, that Nicole wants to go as naturally as possible.
- jasmine on
They looks so lovely
I have no feeling about is it boy or girl..
So I just wish them healthy and happy baby!
- patricia night on
Jasmine- As far as I know, Nicole and Joel have not said a word about what kind of birth they are having, nor have their been any rumors (like there was with Christina a few weeks ago).
That said, however, I think I know what may have gotten you thinking that. When the photos of Nicole’s baby shower were posted, one of them included a cake that had the saying: “There’s no place like having a baby at home” on it. That got lots of people thinking that they may be planning a homebirth.
Anyway, I don’t know why exactly, but to me, Nicole just doesn’t seem to be the type of woman to schedule a C-section unless there was an actual medical reason for it. Also, to be fair, I want to point out that many celebs actually do have vaginal births (to me, it sounded like you were implying that C-sections are the norm among celebs, which infact they really aren’t).
Several others have mentioned that they hoped for a natural birth (Keri Russell is one example), but ended up having to have C-sections for medical reasons. And of the celebs that do have C-sections, a lot of them have them because they are actually neccesary (e.g. the baby is breech).
Heidi Klum, Brooke Burk, Jennifer Garner, Katie Holmes, Naomi Watts, and Geena Davis (who delivered not one baby, but twins naturally!) are just a few examples of celebs who have given bith vaginally.

I’m such a loser, I keep checking the site to see if she’s had her baby! I get a pink vibe from her too and think Noelle or Noel would be the cutest name!
- Mary-Helen on
We haven’t seen Nicole out and about since this day. Personally, I think she has already given birth, but just not shared the news!
