Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have welcomed their second child, a boy.

“In the middle of night, the very early hours of September 9, 2009, Sparrow James Midnight Madden was born to Nicole Richie and Joel Madden,” she announced on her website Wednesday. “He weighs 7lbs 14oz. Nicole, Joel, Harlow [their 19-month-old daughter] and Sparrow are all doing well. Thank you for all of your good wishes.”

In February, Madden, 31, took to his band’s blog to announce that he and his girlfriend, 27, were expecting again. “What’s better than winning an Oscar?” he wrote. “I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister!”

Nicole Richie, super preggers, lunching with boyfriend and baby daddy Joel Madden in Beverly Hills. The couple was with another dude, opting to hit the posh Polo Lounge.

Nic, who hasn’t officially announced her due date or her plans to find out the gender of kid No. 2, is looking large and in charge with a “high” baby bump, a fellow patron of the hotel tells us. “She must have a little over a month left.”

Could Harlow be getting a younger sis? Well…

…all the myths do say high means girl, and we’re told Nic has the same belly as before.

The former Paris party pal was dressed in a long purple bohemian dress, looking “healthy and glowing.” Why didn’t Ms. Hilton ever go this route? Oh yeah, because she’s still slumming it with her Hills leftovers. We’re so Team Richie—having a baby onboard totally suits her.

We hear Nicole’s pregnancy cravings must be kicking in big time, ’cause the gal strolled into the fancy eatery with a Jamba Juice in hand.

“She looked really tired,” our eyes tell us.

Supposedly N.R.’s BF and his male companion were chatting the whole time, while an unusually silent Nicole played on her phone. “Even Joel seemed to look a bit concerned about how worn-out she was.” By the way, the word wedding was dropped at the meal.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are already the proud parents of an adorable 16-month-old daughter, Harlow, and now, they’re getting ready for the arrival of a bouncing baby boy in August, a friend tells In Touch.

“Joel bought water-based paint for the nursery and — surprise, surprise — it’s blue,” reveals another pal of the couple, who adds that Nicole refers to the baby as “he.”

“Plus, she recently ordered some plush animals and infant toys from FAO Schwarz, and everything just happens to be blue.”
