Jamie Lynn Spears had a baby girl this morning. According to People, they named her Maddie Briann. Just family was there including Britney. A source states that “Everyone is healthy and happy.”

Jamie, 17, and the baby’s daddy Casey Aldridge, 19, plan on getting married soon and just bought a house together in Liberty, Miss.

Mom-to-be Jaime Lynn Spears, 17, and her fiance Casey Aldridge, 19, just bought a new home to start their family in. The five-acre home is located in Liberty, Mississippi.

At least they are starting out on the right foot to get their lives in order for the new baby. The furniture they had delivered included a four-poster king-size canopy bed, a leather recliner, and a leather sofa. A source told People that Jaime and her mom will be decorating the baby’s nursery in pink, brown, and “silver-green”.

Jaime Lynn Spears baby registry looks like any other mom’s. Her choices ranged from a $1.49 teething ring to a $300 car seat. Other requests included an ultrasound frame, a Cookie Monster bath towel and an ocean gym. Her shower took place on Saturday in LA. Though sheriff’s deputies were posted at the gate and paparazzi circled in helicopters, “it was a normal shower,” says a source to People. “A wonderful, sweet occasion.”

Seems like a shotgun wedding is on the horizon for teen mom-to-be, Jamie Lynn Spears.

According to PEOPLE magazine, the 16-year-old expectant mom has been sporting an engagement ring from fiancé Casey Aldridge.

Jamie Lynn has reportedly been waving her bling in the faces of friends and family around Louisiana and Mississippi.

"She's got an engagement ring," says a source close to the family. "She's been showing it off, talking about it."

Jamie Lynn and Casey, 18, are expecting their first child in the summer. A wedding date has not yet been announced.

Jamie Lynn Spears is following in the footsteps of J-Lo (she's still J-Lo to us!) and is sparing no expense on her Kentwood, Louisiana nursery.

The nursery, which a source claims is actually in big sister Britney's home, is being designed by what seems to be the only such store deemed good enough for celeb moms-to-be: Petit Tresor. The nursery has an ocean theme, and in a sweet gesture, Britney is picking up the tab. The source says more than $30,000 has already been spent on the nursery.

Among the pricey items: A “Round Crib at Sea” ($1,150); the “Bliss Nursery Dresser ($995) as well as organic bedding and baby blankets that are being made by Robbie Adrian. Britney also reportedly ordered a custom-made, six-foot-tall elephant with a blue bow for the nursery.

It appears that Jamie Lynn Spears is following exactly in the footsteps of her big sis–at least as far as babies are concerned. Like Britney before her, her first child is expected to be a baby boy. 

Jamie Lynn and Britney were spotted this weekend shopping at the baby store to the stars, Petit Tresor in Los Angeles. (This store must be doing booming business of late!) Jamie Lynn reportedly bought blue organic blankets, towels and pajamas. Britney tried to play protective big sister by claiming the clothes were for her own sons, but sources say they were too small for Jayden or Sean Preston.

“Britney originally said the items were for herself,” said an insider. “None of the items could have been mistaken for being purchased for the two kids Britney already has.”

Jamie Lynn was eager to find out the gender of the baby she's expecting with 19-year-old Casey Aldridge, but she was waiting for Mama Lynne to get back from Los Angeles after Britney's breakdown. Jamie Lynn did well on her GED and is now said to be considering college.

Kudos to Jamie Lynn Spears for receiving her high school equivalency diploma. The pregnant 16-year-old reportedly scored exceptionally well on reading comprehension. The younger Spears is said to be thinking about taking the ACT college entrance exam and pursuing studies in journalism.

"She's not wasting any time," a friend of the Zoey 101 star says. "People don't know her. When she gets something in her head, she'll make it happen. Everybody is so supportive of her."

At least Jamie Lynn is making an effort to straighten up and fly right. Let us hope and pray that she manages to create a stable enviroment for herself and her unborn child.

(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.

Does irresponsibility run in the Spears' genes? Is that a rhetorical question?

Jamie Lynn Spears has stolen the spotlight from Britney for a minute by sparking fears for the safety of her unborn child. According to Life & Style magazine, Jamie Lynn has been burning the candle at both ends with late nights out, with reckless disregard for the health and safety of her 4 1/2-month-old fetus.

“Her mom and dad are both worried that Jamie’s late-night partying isn’t good for her — or her child,” says an insider. The “Zoey 101” star evidently pays no mind to her mom and "continues to break every rule Lynne makes–and there are no consequences,” claims a family friend. There are even speculations that Jamie Lynn might still be smoking and drinking.

It's quite possible that Jamie Lynn might not be too concerned with the prospect of a miscarriage. Such a pity. Three words: Condoms, condoms, condoms!

This is both mind-boggling and tragic at the same time. Yes, Britney does need very special help. Like round-the-clock pychiatric treatment. We can continue to bash/mock/flip off this troubled young woman, or we can start heeding her desperate cries for help, if only for the sake of her boys.

The headline-grabbing drama queen stayed true to form and got herself committed last night after a three hour standoff with law enforcement officials, in which she allegedly locked herself in a room with one of her young sons, refusing to hand him over to her ex-husband Kevin Federline. Spears is now on a ‘5150 hold’ at Cedars-Sinai hospital in L.A. , meaning she's a danger to herself and others. It is alleged that the fallen pop star tried to kill herself. Entertainment Tonight reports that Spears will receive psychological evaluation for the next 72 hours.

Emergency services–police, medical and fire crews–were summoned to Spears' home Thursday night at around 8 p.m. after she refused to hand over her boys at the appointed time. It is alleged that the singer was under the influence of an unknown substance, however Life & Style magazine reports that her blood tests came back negative. “There are no traces of drugs or alcohol of any kind,” a source close to the Spears family told the magazine. Thank goodness–one bright spot in this whole dark and sordid affair.

Spears eventually relinquished her boys at 11 p.m. Strapped to a gurney, a disoriented-looking Spears alternated between bouts of screaming and hysterical laughter as she was whisked off to Cedars-Sinai. Among the things she's said to have been screaming was that she wanted to die, and that she "would rather die than let him have my babies."

Poor, poor Britney. Let's keep our fingers crossed that she gets the help she so desperately needs, at last.
