Nicole Richie: Overwhelmed Mommy

Getting back to her normal routine after taking time out to have her baby, Nicole Richie was spotted on her way to a Hollywood studio yesterday.

And the “Simple Life” babe kept it casual with a white flaired-out shirt, grey cardigan, stretch jeans and a pair of crazy-looking laced up shoes.

While her babydaddy Joel Madden has been touring the world with his band Good Charlotte, Nicole has been on full-time parenting duty, and according to a source, it’s starting to take its toll (and it probably doesn’t help that pal Paris Hilton has been along for the Good Charlotte ride, courtesy of Joel’s brother Benji).

An insider revealed, “Nicole adores her daughter more than anything in the world. She’s just finding it a bit overwhelming being a mom 24/7.”

Another source told press, “Nicole would be happier if he [Joel] just focused on his clothing line. His music takes him away from her and it’s difficult for her to be watching the baby alone while he’s out touring. Nicole doesn’t have a full-time nanny, so she’s watching the baby around the clock and it has taken a toll.”
