Jamie Lynn Spears & Maddie Briann First Photo

Allie @ Gone Hollywood | Wednesday, July 9, 2008

Here’s the first photo of Maddie Briann Aldridge. Jamie Lynn Spears gave birth to her mini me on June 19th. Babies having babies.

Jamie Lynn says that being away from the shining lights of Hollywood is making it easier to learn the ins and outs of first-time motherhood.

“Around here, everyone has the same focus. The focus is family, and that’s a good way to live.”

The 17-year-old actress talks 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. I had a perfect pregnancy and a perfect delivery. I was very blessed.”
