The whole town of Kentwood, Louisiana has pleasant things to say about Jamie Lynn Spears' birth yesterday! People Magazine reports:
Jamie Lynn Spears's hometown of Kentwood, La., was buzzing with the news she gave birth, with friends and relatives expressing surprise, relief and confidence the 17-year-old will be a good mother.
"She's awfully young to be a momma," says distant cousin Margie Busby. "But that's what they make [grandmothers] for. They have to help. That's the way it is with our circle of friends."
Second cousin Janet Bridges acknowledges, "I didn't even know she had the baby," but gives a thumbs up to the baby girl's name. "Ooh, I like 'Maddie,'" says Bridges.
The birth was the talk of Kentwood. "I'm really happy for her and her family," says Jennifer Pike, who works at the corner store where the Spears family often shops. "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."

Aww, that's cute. There seems to be a lot of support within the little southern town for the young mommy. It's funny though, they forgot to mention her crazy southern uncle who works on the local dairy farm and chews tobacco and spits all day... rumor has it is that all he had to say was "Damn that Casey Aldridge, that young boy got to her before I could!" Okay, maybe that didn't happen, but I'm sure that's what a lot of old, creepy southerners were thinking!
