Jamie Lynn Spears is officially a mom!
OK! has confirmed with a rep for the 17-year-old star that Jamie Lynn gave birth to daughter Maddie Briann earlier today in a hospital near her new home in Liberty, Mississippi, OK! confirms.
Maddie is the first child for the former Zoey 101 star and her fianc� Casey Aldridge. Not to mention, she makes an aunt and cousins out of Britney Spears and her sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.
As OK! has reported, Aunt Britney, along with her father Jamie and brother Bryan, flew into Kentwood on Wednesday to be present for the birth.
The birth culminates a very public pregnancy for the teen, who exclusively announced she was expecting in the pages of OK! in December.
"I can�t say it was something I was planning to do right now," she confessed to OK!. "But now that it�s in my lap and that it�s something I have to deal with, I�m looking forward to being the best mom I can be."
Retreating to her hometown of Kentwood, Jamie Lynn laid low for the rest of her pregnancy, preparing for her summer arrival and getting engaged to Casey, 19. The two recently purchased their first home in Liberty, Miss., where they plan on raising Maddie.
In May, she hosted an intimate baby shower that reunited her with Britney, 26, for the first time since October. Big sis even gave the expectant mom some motherly words of wisdom.
"She told me, 'There are going to be some long nights, but it is completely worth it,'" Jamie Lynn said.
Now that her daughter has arrived, the actress wants to devote all her time and attention to her bundle of joy. Everything else � including a wedding and her career � can wait.
"Right now, I am so focused on the baby," she told OK!. "You never know what may happen a year from now. There is the possibility I'll go back, but right now, I just want to be a good mom."

Angelina Jolie has talked candidly about her desire to continue expanding her family with Brad Pitt. But when the actress found out she was pregnant with twins, well, even she was taken aback, People.com reports.
�We weren�t expecting twins,� Jolie, 33, tells Entertainment Weekly in a new interview. �So it did shock us, and we jumped to six (children) quickly. But we like a challenge.�
With a house full of kids, Jolie says she needs help � so it�s a good thing there�s family around to pitch in. �(Brad�s) mom and dad are on standby to come out and help,� she says.
But the real focus, Jolie says, is making sure their other children � Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2 � feel included when their new siblings are born.
�They�re old enough to feel included to change diapers themselves, to feed bottles themselves, like if I pump into a bottle,� Jolie says. �We�re trying to find ways where it can be a fun group thing ... Everybody gets special time so we can make sure we know where they�re at.�
As for how she�s handling being pregnant with twins, Jolie tells EW she�s taking it easy and letting Pitt handle all the heavy lifting � literally.
