Jamie Lynn Spears Turns Soccer Mom

In Jamie Lynn Spears‘ recent OK! interview, she chats about being a new mom, having Maddie as a daughter, and her plans for the future … being a soccer mom!!

Jamie Lynn said she had been nervous about giving birth “but it all fell into place. I was right on schedule. I had a perfect pregnancy and a perfect delivery. I was very blessed.”

Jamie Lynn’s immediate family — including big sister Britney — all attended the birth, although Casey was the only one allowed in the delivery room. Watching him hold Maddie for the first time “was the coolest thing. … He was so happy, and that made me the happiest person alive.”

Jamie Lynn also thinks Maddie takes after daddy. “As much as I’d like her to look like me — I just carried her for nine months — she looks like Casey! He reminds me of it every day,” she said.

Now that they are home, Jamie Lynn said Maddie sleeps in a bassinet by the couple’s bed because she’s “not ready to put her (in the nursery) all the way across the house.”

Jamie Lynn has been thrilled to have her family around – both for the birth and after. “It was such a big day,” Jamie Lynn continued. “And being able to have your sister there, your whole family there, meant a lot. Everybody flew in to celebrate.”

Lynn Spears has also been a hands-on grandma. “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.”

As for her future plans? Jamie Lynn wants to raise Maddie down South where “the focus is family.”

“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.”
