(Baby) baby momma-to-be, Jamie Lynn Spears, has reportedly been running wild in Louisiana since Mom Lynne had to fly to LA to be with Brit. (Get well, Britney!)

Perhaps to quell the rumors, she and the baby's daddy, Casey Aldridge, went on a photo-op shopping trip this week and held hands the whole time. All's well in lovebird land.

Now, the 16-year-old is itching to find out the sex of her baby. "Jamie (is) just hanging out with friends and cousins, mostly cousin Laura Lynn, who's twenty-six" a Spears family insider tells Life & Style.  "Jamie Lynn wants to go to the doctor to find out the baby’s sex, but because Lynne had to leave to help with Britney, Jamie Lynn had to postpone it.  She wants to wait until her mother can be there with her."

Psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Ablow, who does not treat the star, is not surprised. “It’s a big hurdle to be sixteen and pregnant and separated geographically from your family,” he says. “At a time when she needs a real safety net under her, there isn’t a lot of safety.”

Torn between two very vulnerable daughters. Not an enviable position for Lynne.
