Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Amazing news!!

- Nikki on January 11th, 2008

I don’t know why, but I think she’s having a girl. It’s just a feeling I get. I’m surprised she’s doing it the “natural” way. I always pictured her getting a c-section. Good luck to her… and Christina too.

- Kris on January 11th, 2008

Hope this is true!!!!!! I’m sooooooo waiting for the arrival of this baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Mariam on January 11th, 2008

I am SOOOO excited! I have been checking this site, like, every 15 minutes………knowing all too well that she was due anyday!!
EEKS
CONGRATS TO NICOLE & JOEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Jessica on January 11th, 2008

I’m an avid reader of this site but for the past week I check it like every other hour to hear if there is any other news on Nicole and Christina Aguleria. I cannot wait to find out what each one has/names them and eventually see pictures.

- Kodie on January 11th, 2008

Such good news! I love how Nicole’s pregnancy transformed her.
I only hope that her baby and Christina’s are not born in the same day…

[Sorry for my english, I'm argentinian!]

- Caroline on January 11th, 2008

That would be cool if Nikki and Christina had their babies on the same day!

- kiki on January 11th, 2008

I love it, both christina and nicole giving birth on the same day lol. I think nicole is having a boy, just like I always felt christina would have a boy. Can’t wait to hear both baby names and weight.

- adriana on January 11th, 2008

im slightly more interested in this story, only because they dont know the sex of the baby and i cant wait to find out.

i can see Joel with a girl and her being a real daddies girl. that probably means its a boy now i have said that!!

- meg on January 11th, 2008

God bless her and her baby!
Hope everything will be ok!

- patricia night on January 11th, 2008

I think it’s going to be a boy weighing in at 7lbs 10oz. But a part of me hope’s it’s a girl bc Joel looks like the type of daddy that would have his fingers easily wrapped!

Wow a Richie and an Aguilera baby on the same day! Exciting stuff!!

- J.M. on January 11th, 2008

Wow, wouldn’t that be cool if her and Christina had their babies on the same day? Talk about coincidence! I can’t wait to hear what she has. I have had this boy vibe her whole pregnancy. Only time will tell! Good luck Nicole!!

- E on January 11th, 2008

That would be so cool for her and Christina to have their babies on the same day. I can’t wait to here more news and may she have an easy and safe labor and delivery. =)

- Melanie F. on January 11th, 2008

This is very exciting. It would be neat if both girls had their babies on the same day! I wish I would’ve given birth @ Cedars… those birthing suites are to die for! They’re very lucky girls:)

- DH on January 11th, 2008

OMG! I am so excited…you would think I was having the baby! I cannot wait for both her and Christina to introduce their babies to the world. It does seem like its a boy vibe in the air, but I secretly want to see Nicole and Joel with a precious baby girl. It doesn’t matter though…boy or girl! I have been waiting for this, seems like forever. Congratulations Richie/Madden family and Aguilera/Bratman family!

- Cia2008 on January 11th, 2008

I have a feeling that it’s a girl.. which is weird because I thought it was a boy up until this week.. lol

- Kirsty on January 11th, 2008

If Nicole and Christina are having their babies on the same day, that’s cool, although I’m not entirely surprised since they seemed to be due at about the same time. We’ll see what the results are later tonight/tomorrow..or whenever (or if ever) they release press statements about the fact.

- Autumn on January 11th, 2008

Yay! I hope this is true, I can not wait to find out what this baby is! Go Nicole!!!

- Amanda on January 11th, 2008

O my gosh this is soooo exciting!

- Christine M on January 11th, 2008

Oh the anticipation they must all be feeling!! Hope her pushing (if she is pushing) is fast, and cannot wait to hear who the baby is and what they’re naming him/her.

- chatty cricket on January 11th, 2008

That would be cool — Nicole and Christina’s babies could then belong to the “same day famous baby club” with Suri and Grier.

- AmyP (Pepper) on January 11th, 2008

I’m so excited for Nicole & Christina – looks like I won’t be leaving the computer today Thanks CBB

- tracey on January 11th, 2008

All right now, it is about time, it seems like Nicole has been preggers forever. Smile. Is it a boy, is it a girl, traditional name, or so different it is just plain cool????? Either way, I am glad her time has come and wish her and her family the best and many blessings. I am so proud of the woman she has blossomed into over the past year or so.

- Nita on January 11th, 2008

This is so exciting – I cannot wait!!!!!! I hope they release the name straight away!

- ZaraB on January 11th, 2008

It’s like two members of my family are giving birth. I’m so impatient waiting to see which one(Nicole/Christina) gives birth first. The suspense is killing me, but we all know babies come when they want. Good luck to them both though.

- Chris on January 11th, 2008

Me 2 Tracey and Jessica!!!!!!!! I’m sooooo waiting for this! Two fav celebs giving birth on the same day as Brooke and Katie back in 2006!!

- Mariam on January 11th, 2008

It’s just like when Brooke and Katie went into labor at the same time and at Cedars too! This is all very exciting, I imagine we’ll hear all about names and such on Monday.

- Jessica on January 11th, 2008

Wow! if they dont give birth on the same day, I have a feeling Nic will have the baby in the early hours of the morning. Cant wait to see Christina’s and Nicole’s babies.:)

- Callen +3 on January 11th, 2008

I’ve been checking constantly! I sooo CANNOT wait to hear the GREAT news for Nicole and Christina!! Come on girls!!!!!

- Doreen on January 11th, 2008

Like everyone else, that would be great if Nicole and Christina gave birth on the same day but we’ll all wait and see. How funny i’m at work and they’re playing a Lionel Richie song, perhaps because of the current event!!! HA! I can’t wait to hear the news!!

- Natalie S. on January 11th, 2008

How will CBB know when the baby arrives..?

Are we waiting for their rep to make an announcement, or do you have an inside source? Or are we just hearing this through the grapevine?

Sarah’s note: We’re just speaking with sources now and gathering what the different magazines are saying. The baby may already be born, who knows. We’ll just keep updating, and then put up the ‘official’ birth post when we hear.

- Kirsty on January 11th, 2008

i cant wait to see what both babies look like

Congrats to both i remember going to the hospital to have my son 14 months ago

i miss being pregnant

- Nikki on January 11th, 2008

OMG – the anticipation is killing me!!! Push, Nicole, push…!!!

- ZaraB on January 11th, 2008

Sooo exciting! I can’t wait!! I keep checking back!

- Meg on January 11th, 2008

this is so funny. I remember back when Christina got engaged,and Nicole engaged to DJ AM. showing off their rocks to eachother and smiling. And now they might be having babies at the same day,at the same hospital.
Only Nicole is having Joels baby,not DJ AMs…

- noelle on January 11th, 2008

This is so exciting having all these babies being born on the same day!

- terri on January 11th, 2008

Wow..January 11, 2008 must be a really special day since two very popular celebs are having their babies, just as it was on April 18, 2006 when Grier and Suri were born. I am hoping to hear some news soon! (though I don’t think we’ll hear anything till tomorrow). Can’t wait to hear if it’s a girl or boy. Dying to find out.

- J.J. on January 11th, 2008

Sounds like Cedars is THE place today!! Courtney Thorne-Smith, David Alan Grier and Christina & Nicole. Best wishes to all of the happy couples/mommies(and mommies-to-be).

- Helena on January 11th, 2008

Brooke and Katie actually had their babies at St. Johns not Cedars.

- Eleanor on January 11th, 2008

I’m so excited, i keep refreshing hoping for baby news!!!
God’s blessings as you push Nicole
