Jamie Lynn was thrilled when Maddie Briann Aldridge — her daughter with then-boyfriend, Casey Aldridge — was born on June 19, 2008, at Southwestern Mississippi Regional Medical Center in McComb.
"Being a mom is the best feeling in the world," gushed Jamie Lynn, who was just 16 at the time. "I love taking care of her. It is so much fun. I just want to hug her and kiss her, and I'm happy all the time."
Casey Aldridge, then 18, was a proud papa. "He held my hand the whole time. He wanted to be there. He knew he couldn't miss it," Jamie Lynn said about her ex witnessing their daughter's birth.
"The first time I saw her, it was surreal. You can't even imagine that moment. She just looked at me, and she really didn't cry at first," noted Jamie Lynn. "I was scared, and then she started screaming. It is the best feeling in the world."
