Not 100% sure where this belongs...

Actress Jamie Lynn Spears, 17, and her fiancé Casey Aldridge, 19, have welcomed their first child. Daughter Maddie Briann Aldridge was born around 9:30 am CST at Mississippi Southwest Regional Medical Center in McComb, MS. Jamie Lynn did not have a c-section, as other outlets have reported; however, she was induced. A source tells People.com,

Just the family was there, everyone is healthy and happy.

The pregnancy was announced in December, with Jamie Lynn confirming the sex in May.

Congratulations to her! I'm sure she'll make a great new mommy!

I'm giving Jamie the benefit of the doubt. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders and after seeing what her sister went through...I have a feeling she'll do just fine. Only time will tell.

Hoo freakin ray.

Glad to see someone like me :lol:

Congrats to Jamie Lynn... I seriously hope that her mom won't have her on the cover of OK in 2 weeks to "debut" the baby.

The baby has been named Maddie Briann btw.

I don't see her as the stereotypical teenage mother. Unlike most of them, Jamie Lynn actually has the money to support the child (or hire a nanny to do it.)
My point is that she's a special case. Although she's too young to know the emotional trials a baby can have on a person, she'll learn that quickly (hopefully) and will be a great mom. I just hope she has a LOT of help from her own mother these first few months.

Yep! That was in the article I posted. Cute name...at least it's not some strange Hollywood type name.

Congrats to Jamie Lynn :D

Ohh, it's okay! I hope my comment didn't come across as rude! :eek:

Does this mean Jamie can get her show back?

Probably not.

;)

:brent EXACTLY!!!

That's good news. A loved and wanted child. She'll be a beautiful baby. I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Welcome to the world, Maddie Briann; may you have a life fulled with love and happiness:)
And car dashboards to nap on!

And car dashboards to nap on!
Ha, well, I hope not. I think that Jamie Lynn is going to be a responsible mother, regardless if she is only 17 or not; she seems to have the maturity level of some one twice her age. The best of luck to her and her new daughter:)

I don't see her as the stereotypical teenage mother. Unlike most of them, Jamie Lynn actually has the money to support the child (or hire a nanny to do it.)
yeah, good point. even if she doesn't yet have the full emotional maturity to take care of a child, she won't have to be flipping burgers all day and hanging onto every last penny to afford child support. her daughter is at an advantage in a way.

That's true Sarah. It all depends. By the time her daughter needs adult advice, etc, Jamie will be older anyway. My mother had her first child at age 17, her third by 22. I wouldn't be here if my parents didn't hook up young. I think the important thing is that Jamie Lynn's child is wanted, and will be loved and cared for, since there's $, lol. Sad to say, but money does make a world of difference. It's not everythng though. A new baby, nothing negative from my end. My husband's parents were married for 59 years, first child at 17. One of the greatest loves I ever witnessed.

Just because a person has money does not mean that they will not struggle with motherhood, Money is not always the issue at hand. It is hard to say if she will be a great mother or not, she does not come from the healthiest of backgrounds. Once you have a baby, you never know if you and your baby will bond, sounds strange but it can happen. It is hard to tell in the early stag of motherhood, especially being a young mother.

Congratulations to Jamie Lynn . I think she'll be a good mother. Money might not be the answer to everything but it sure can't hurt. I don't think age has anything to do with it. My Grandparents ( both my Mom's and my Dad's side of the family) were very young when they started a family and they were very happy together. My sister was 23 when she had my niece. She's a lot more responsible now that she's a mother. Being a parent can do that to you. Anyhow I think she'll be okay.

Who said money was the answer or issue? Some here are simply saying that it will make things easier for her, because it will. One less worry, such as not worrying about where the next box of Pampers is coming from. I think she'll bond just fine with her baby daughter, lol. Next.

i didn't say her excessive money would make motherhood a breeze, just that it's a big advantage.

You can think it but it does not always happen, many women do go through postpartum depression, which hinders the bonding moments, it is a reality. Yes, she has money, but money does not make a mother.

However, she could turn out to be a better mother than her sister and her own mother.

I hope she is a good mother and I hope she can avoid all the trouble
that Britney has been in.

Jamie Lynn just had a baby daughter. She and the father are engaged to be married and are in the process of buying a home. Not a word has been mentioned in the press about any problems or issues, and certainly not postpartum depression. Why go there, of all places. I keep reading that both mother and baby are happy and healthy.

You could play the "this could happen" until the cows come home. It's ridiculous. The truth is you were downing Jamie when she got pregnant. You then knocked her like crazy because she's going to pose with her infant for a magazine, as so many celebs do. This is a time for celebration and good wishes. It's absolutely no surprise to me, that now that she's given birth, all you've done is laugh at jokes about her. Now you're on to postpartum depression, which appears to be in your mind only. Very judgemental.

Congratulations to Jaime and the new baby, I hope nothing but health and hapiness. :)

Jamie will make an awsome mom

Yea I think she's really stretching it about postpartum depression. If that was the case nobody would want to have babies. Like I said before , she's young but that doesn't mean she won't make a good mother. I have many Aunts and cousins who married pretty young too and they're all doing okay. I think the main thing is everyone should wish mother and daughter best wishes. This is a joyous occasion. :)

That's true. Back in the day, everyone was having babies when they were young. One thing I don't get is how everyone trashes the mother, Lynne Spears. Unless I'm missing something. She's simply a mother of three kids, one who has issues. Her oldest son is handsome and doing quite well as a producer or something. Britney was on the Mickey Mouse Club. She didn't start having her issues until she was over 20 and on her own. Jamie Lynn seems to be a sweetheart, infant and all. I saw pictures of her baby shower from last month, and the entire family was dressed nicely. They looked totally normal. Jamie Lynn was opening gifts and had on the cutest maternity dress. They were all smiling and looked happy. I saw a picture of them all lined up as a family. It was a beautiful picture. I'm rooting for Britney. I never cheer a person's downfall.

I've read time and time that Lynne was actually working with Kevin Federline to help get Britney back on track. He's a good father to all of his kids. Lynne was a grade-school teacher for years. I don't get the hate for her. It appears to me that she loves her kids and grandkids. The family has their share of problems, but what family hasn't. How many people could pass muster with a camera shoved in their face all the time.

i agree. no one has to like her or care about her situation, but i don't understand why people have been so negative and doubtful about it. of course things can go wrong, but as it stands, jamie and her fiance are giving their daughter the potential for a good childhood and life. she is young, but she'll be an adult in less than a year now and it's not like she'll be raising her daughter all on her own. absolutely no need to assume she'll be a lousy mother.

I was wondering was The Whole Family in the room with Jamie

I was wondering was The Whole Family in the room with Jamie
I haven't read anything about that but I know Britney was spotted entering the hospital shortly before Jamie gave birth. I would imagine Casey, her mom and Britney were in the room.

McComb, MS- "This is the most bad-ass day of my life," said an emotional Jamie Lynn Spears yesterday, swaddling her newborn baby in a torn I Hate Mondays t-shirt. 17-year-old Spears gave birth to 7 lb. 11 oz. Maddie Briann in the power tool aisle of a McComb Wal-Mart Wednesday afternoon. The labor was supervised by Wal-Mart manager Newt Huckert and some other good folks.

"Jamie Lynn was a real trooper," said Huckert. "We offered her some Tylenol to kill the pain, but all she wanted was Mountain Dew."

The barefoot star of Nickelodeon's Zoey 101 announced her pregnancy through an article in OK! Magazine and is expected to receive a hefty payday for exclusive photos of the newborn.


Maddie Briann's father, 19-year old pipe-layer Casey Aldridge, is currently engaged to marry Spears. The couple's wedding date is currently pending the availability of the McComb Cracker Barrel.

"I'm gonna raise the **** out of this baby," said Aldridge. "I'm happy it's a girl. T'were it a boy, I would have named it Bachman Turner, but Maddie Briann is fine by me."

Britney Spears and her father, Jamie, flew from Los Angeles to their hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana to celebrate the birth. "I'm already thinking about the baby's future," said grandfather Jamie. "I bought her twenty lottery tickets. All she needs is one winner and she's set for life. I'd say those are good odds."

Currently recovering in Wal-Mart's stockroom, Jamie Lynn is expected to return home Saturday, when her family will celebrate with a tailgate party and mac and cheese with cut up wieners.

Yea my Aunt got married ( I believe around 18) and she was married for 60 years. My cousin is around 60 now so she had him pretty young.

I think Britney just got swept away by the Hollywood lifestyle. Not everyone can handle all that fame. I don't see how anyone can blame the Mom. Britney was an adult when this all happened. Things happen sometimes and no matter what a parent tries to do sometimes the kid just doesn't listen. Hopefully she'll be okay too. Their's too many tragic stories about fallen stars in Hollywood. we don't need another one.

My grandma was married when she was 18. I think that is because back in the day many women were expected to get married young and start families and work. I personally believe that girls back then were more mature than the girls/teens of today. Back then, if you were not married by the time you were 25 you were considered an “old maid.” IMO, I do not see how getting married and having babies at an young age back in the day can even measure up to now.

Wow what a cutdown to todays generation. lol

Wow what a cutdown to todays generation. lol




When you see so many teen girls (not all of them) “dumbing” themselves down to attract a boy, or the only thing that they care about are designer clothes/cell phones and whatnot over an education. In addition to that, many teenage girls are getting pregnant on purpose before even getting their high school diploma. I can see a difference between today generation and yesteryears.

i haven't liked the judgment on lynne spears' parenting either. when i read about britney's bizarre behavior, all i can think is that it's exactly the way i would end up if i were that famous, only i'd be MUCH worse. my morals and the way i was raised are entirely irrelevant. i just don't have the mental competency to handle anything like that without losing myself. the same could have easily applied to her. you'd think that if it's because her mother raised her wrong, that behavior would have started in her childhood, not after she was fully grown. as far as jamie is concerned, her early motherhood is of course a big deal, but it's the result of one mistake she made. are you all equally judgmental of parents of teens who lose their virginity to their long-time significant others without resulting in pregnancy or diseases? probably not. a child doing ONE thing wrong doesn't render their parents incompetent and it's sad if anyone thinks it does.

who's to say that girls back in the day didn't do similar things? all we know about the yesteryears is what was put into recorded history, and no one wrote about how bratty and irresponsible teen girls generally may have been back then. can't make an accurate comparison with such an unbalanced basis.

I can't say about way back since I wasn't alive back then ( although I think a lot of that still went on although maybe not as openly as now) but I do know a lot of that was going on in the late 70's and early 80s when I was in school. When I got to junior high I couldn't believe what I saw. lol It really has nothing to do with Jamie though. You're just making asumptions that most teenagers are irresponsible and switching the blame over to her. At least it appears she's trying to do the right thing. I commend her for it.

There were wild gals in most every generation, particulary in the 50s, and it got real wild in the 60s and beyond. There were PLENTY of unplanned pregnancies back then too. In those days, they just got married very fast or the young pregnant girl took a trip to vist Aunt Martha and came home thinner, and the child was adopted. Today, some opt for abortion. Besides, in Jamie Lynn's case, this was a case of two young teens who were together for years. I've never seen a person devote so much energy to being against the birth of a child. I'm referring to Brieannas. You'd think this was the spawn of satan, Rosemary's Baby. :devil:

It's just a baby with a young mother who I'm sure loves her like crazy. It happens all the time. It's been happening for generations.

First, I am a woman with two beautiful little girls, I am not against the birth of a child. Secondly, I am against teens having babies before they have an education or before they are even ready, no matter what their monetary status is.

Every situation is different. Things don't fit all nice and neat into your idea of perfection. Jamie will have plenty of time to get an education, should she decide she wants one. She's filthy rich anyway. Gonna get a cool million for one picture of her beautiful baby. My how times have changed. I think Lucy and Desi got 50 grand for the TV Guide photo of little Ricky. They kicked off the trend of selling your baby's picture to the media. I wonder if he went to college. The point is that the baby is here, living and breathing, and every bit as important to her loved ones as your daughters are to you. There's nothing to be "against" anymore. The baby is here.

Not an ideal of perfection, it is just my personal belief, My opinion.

I’m not naive I know that mistakes happen, But whatever. On to the next thread.

Yeah, this was a thread about the horrors of teen pregnancy. I must have misread that warm and happy thread title. I personally know a lot of "mistakes", and they're real nice people. I'm married to one. Nite. :wave:

Yes they are….aren’t they? I think that I am a very nice person as well.

You can be the best parent ever but things still happen. Wait until your daughters become teenagers. My Mom never went past the ninth grade and she handled the family budget and really took care of the household. She was one of the smartest people I know. Being educated doesn't make you a great parent. I know a lot of educated people that are jerks. This just sounds like snobery. Good Night. :wave:

Wow, there sure is a lot of hate and prejudice in here.

Hope everything goes well for Jamie Lynn and the Baby. Never know, a mistake could end up being the best thing to ever happen to you.

If thinking that education is important and if thinking that at least completing High School before having a baby sounds like “snobbery” then so be it, call me Mrs. Snob. At least make it to 19 before you start having babies. I never said that not having an education made you a bad parent or person, and I never said that having an education made you a good one. That's MY opinion, I never said that it was law.

who's to say that girls back in the day didn't do similar things? all we know about the yesteryears is what was put into recorded history, and no one wrote about how bratty and irresponsible teen girls generally may have been back then. can't make an accurate comparison with such an unbalanced basis.
exactly, it's not like there were never unplanned pregnancies before this decade. they just tried to hide them in "yesteryear". but they happened.

I never said education wasn't important, just that it didn't make you a good parent or not. I have a cousin who was a teenage mother too. She was rebellious back then. I remember she and her daughter came to stay with us in NC for a couple weeks because she had to get away from it all. She never married the father. He was a jerk. Well she ended up finding another man and she married him and he adopted her daughter. She's still married to him and that daughter is in her 20s now and is doing fine. My own sister was rebellous. We had a perfect family ....no real problems but when she hit highschool she got involved with the wrong crowd including a jerk of a boyfriend who my parents forbid her to see. What did my sister do? She ran away. Nobody knew where she was for a week. That took a lot out of my parents especially my Mom. Well that sister did eventually turn herself around. She's a single parent....she was married but her husband cheated on her. That little girl of hers is an angel and my sister is totally devoted to her. That's probably the best thing that could have happened to her because she's a lot more responsible now. I'm not saying it's not better to wait but their are things that happen and you have to make the best of it. Sometimes things turn out well and sometimes they don't but I don't look my nose down on people that make mistakes. Jamie has money so this baby will be well taken care of. It doesn't mean she'll be a great parent but nobody knows right now. I'm hoping she is.

congrats to jamie! i'm sure the baby will get all that she wants & needs. who knows, this baby could prevent her from going on britney's path...
and yes, she is young to be having a baby but, i'm just glad she didn't get an abortion and decided to raise the child. with the support of her family & friends, i'm sure she'll be fine.

Hear hear.

What's done is done, and all we can do is hope for the best in situations like this. What's wrong with looking on the bright side and trying to turn something that could be bad into something with a good? It's certainly better than beating a dead horse. It's easy to talk about woulda, coulda, shoulda...But that isn't the issue at hand.

Believe it or not, each and every one of us are equal. Nobody is really any better than anyone else. We all make mistakes. Some of them just turn out to be bigger than others.

Anyone who is judging Jamie Lynn should take a look in the mirror and realize that you're every bit as flawed as she is. You're only human just like me and everyone else. You're really not as holy as you think you are, and you're certainly nobody to judge anyone else in the world.

First picture of Maddie! She's adorable!

Since giving birth on June 19 to baby girl Maddie Briann Aldridge, Jamie Lynn Spears has taken to doing what any good first time mom would do — making sure her brand new daughter has everything she needs.

And, in an exclusive interview and photoshoot, the younger sister of Britney Spears tells OK! that being away from the shining lights of Hollywood is making it all easier to learn the ins and outs of first-time motherhood. "Around here, everyone has the same focus," Jamie Lynn tells OK!. "The focus is family, and that's a good way to live."

The 17-year-old actress opens up to OK! about everything — from taking parenting classes to life inside the new home she shares with Maddie and boyfriend Casey Aldridge, to her first experience with labor pains.

"They'd told me it would be an eight- to 12-hour labor, and I was ready to have the baby in three to four hours," Jamie Lynn tells OK!. "I had a perfect pregnancy and a perfect delivery. I was very blessed."
While the former Zoey 101 star and her fiancé have not yet set a date for their wedding, the couple remains closer than ever. Jamie Lynn, who tells OK! that while her labor was induced, she gave birth naturally and without complications, says that Casey was the one person she wanted in the delivery room with her.

"Once I got in there, my doctor was just so calm and so good it was not bad at all," she says. "I was just talking to Casey. And you know what's so weird? I was asking him if he was okay. He was like, 'Yeah.' We were both so excited."

A baby nursery is set up for little Maddie at the other end of the house, but for now her proud parents like having her next to them at night, so she sleeps in a bassinet in the same room as Jamie Lynn and Casey.

"She is very good," says Jamie Lynn. "She'll feed every two or three hours. When she wakes up in the middle of the night, I'll feed her and she goes right back to sleep. There's no screaming and crying."

The proud mama continues, "We get up in the morning, and she gets her little bath. Then I get my bath. We have a routine, and I love routines. I've worked one out with her, and we're happy going about our little life."

I just wish the Media wouldnt glamourize teen-age pregnancy, thats all.

What a nice picture! The baby is a doll. It's nice that they're getting married. I hope they make it.

I'm glad she's living away from Hollywood.
