On Wednesday, sister Britney and dad Jamie flew from L.A. to their hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana as Jamie Lynn prepared to give birth.
The Zoey 101 star – who announced she was expecting at 16-years-old with Aldridge’s baby in December (they sold the story for $1 million) – spent her pregnancy in Kentwood and McComb.
“She’s now really excited, so I’m proud of her,” pal Miley Cyrus has told Joynews.
Before her pregnancy, Jamie Lynn told Us of having kids, “Whatever happens, happens, I guess. You can’t really say what is going to happen.”
In May, Britney and mom Lynne attended her baby shower at the family’s Serenity mansion in Kentwood.

I was completely against the pre-marriage birth, but I do kinda like the name.
