She may be just 17, but Jamie Lynn Spears is already harvesting hopes of being a ’soccer mom’ to her new-born, Maddie Briann. Barely three weeks since she was born, Maddie has wrought an incredible transformation in her teen-mom’s outlook towards life.
In an interview to OK! Magazine, Jamie Lynn puts forward the belief that at home, her baby’s growing up the right way - away from the razzmatazz that is Hollywood. “Around here, everyone has the same focus,” Jamie Lynn tells OK!. “The focus is family, and that’s a good way to live.”
In the article, she had a lot to say about the positives of being a mother, and also reiterates how she’s received great support from the baby’s father, fiancé Casey Aldridge, and her own mom, Lynne Spears.
She considers motherhood as her ‘No. 1′ priority at the moment, and is reveling in the feeling of being a mother.
“Mama has been here a bunch,” she said. “She wants to see the baby all the time. She told me the doctors are always going to be real strict and tell you, `Don’t do this and don’t do that.’ Just follow your instincts. You’re the mother and you know what your baby needs. That’s what I’ve done and it seems to have worked.”….”I would love being the soccer mom,” she said. “They don’t have soccer down here, but I would love being the softball mom driving the kids around.”
