Jamie Lynn Spears made headlines back in December when it was announced that she was 12 weeks pregnant. As she was only 16-years-old when the news was announced, Jamie Lynn's fans and their parents were understandably shocked to learn that the wholesome star of Nickelodeon's Zoey 101 would soon be an unwed teenage mother.
It's been a rocky road for Jamie Lynn Spears since the announcement. With the fate of Zoey 101 not entirely clear, the media giving her intense scrutiny, and paparazzi stalking her every move, not to mention all of the issues that come along with a pregnancy, the last seven months can't have been easy. But that chapter of now 17-year-old Jamie Lynn's life ended this morning when she gave birth to a baby girl named Maddie Briann.

After the recent baby shower for the very pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears, the 17-year-old Zoey 101 star spent the weekend at Liberty, Mississippi to attend to another baby bash, this time with mostly the Aldridge clan. The first May 3 bash was spent with the Spears family and was the venue for Jamie Lynn and big sister Britney to reunite after a few months apart. Despite being an Aldridge party, this Saturday’s event was spent without the 19-year-old dad-to-be and Jamie Lynn’s fiancé, Casey. Now that Jamie Lynn’s due date is drawing near, big sis Britney is promising to be there for her sister, claiming that she is considering moving back to their hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana to witness Jamie Lynn’s childbirth.
“At the baby shower, she told her little sister she wanted to be there for her the entire time,” a close friend of the Spears family told E!. “I'm not sure how Casey is going to feel about that. But Jamie Lynn seems pretty excited.”

It seems that Britney's little sister isn't planning on flying below the radar anytime soon as she's recently been spotted up and about, shopping for various things, from baby products to household staples. The Zoey 101 star recently turned 17, and much to everyone's surprise, her loving family wasn't around to celebrate with her. In fact, Jamie Lynn Spears opted for a low-key celebration with hubby Casey Aldridge in McComb, Mississippi, while everyone else, including big sis Britney, mom Lynne and dad Jamie were in Los Angeles, California for a dinner at the Italian restaurant Peppone.
People Magazine reported that Jamie Lynn and Casey had dinner at Ruby Tuesday, after which the young couple headed to Wal-Mart to check out some sleeping bags.
