Are Nicole & Joel having a boy?

Will Nicole Richie and Joel Madden be welcoming a boy this August?

“Joel bought water-based paint for the nursery and — surprise, surprise — it’s blue,” a pal of the couple tells In Touch Weekly, 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,” adds the source.
