Nicole Richie, Joel Madden Have a Girl

People Magazine is a hot source for Celebrity news. In an article posted on People.com, reportedly Nicole gave birth to a 6 lb. 7 oz baby girl named Harlow . Nicole has been in the news with highlights surrounding her wild ways and drunk driving. In the article Nicole expresses her feelings of motherhood once finding out she is pregnant. Nicole quotes “When I found out that I was pregnant, there was just something inside of me that felt a responsibility to mend any issues that I've had with my parents in the past, because, listen, I've put them through a lot”. I feel that Nicole has done what a lot of new young mother’s have done over time. After you have spent so much time blaming other for what has gone wrong in your life, once you find out you are bringing life into the world, you want to move on for the sake of the new child. I felt the same way Nicole did when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. It was time to slow down and start taking responsibility for not only myself but also my baby. Nicole and Joel are now relishing in new parental bliss according to People and are trying to focus on themselves and family. Of course fans want to know when the marriage is coming but right now they are just feeling happy and blessed about their new bundle of joy and I think it is smart for both of them to not jump into a commitment now for the sake of the child, but just be together and learn how to become a family and love what God has given the both of them. Harlow.
