Jamie Lynn Spears’ Hometown Abuzz With Baby News

Family and friends of new parents Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge were cautiously optimistic when news broke that the 17-year-old had given birth to her daughter Maddie Briann.

“She’s awfully young to be a momma,” distant cousin Margie Busby told People. “But that’s what they make [grandmothers] for. They have to help. That’s the way it is with our circle of friends.”

Jennifer Pike, a clerk at the corner store that the Spears clan frequents, believes the road ahead for Jamie won’t be the smoothest, but is hopeful for the new mother.

“There will probably be some rough times and some bumpy times, but I wish the best for her. I wish her all the luck in the world,” Pike told the magazine.

Spears family member, Charlie Spears, believes the easy part is over for Jamie Lynn and Casey.

“It’s easy to have them, but hard to raise them,” he said. “I hope she’s healthy, and I hope they raise a good baby.”

Though the new parents may be young, one friend close to the Spears family believes the Nickelodeon star is ready for the challenges of motherhood.

“We’re so excited for her,” a Spears family friend told mag. “She’ll be a great mom. She’ll be awesome.”
