How Jamie Lynn Told Her Mom She Was Pregnant

The pregnancy of Jamie Lynn Spears was one of the most talked about celebrity pregnancies. The media was constantly spilling new info about the then expectant-teen mom.



Now, months after the birth of Jamie Lynn's daughter, Maddie, Mother Lynne Spears fills us in on how she found out about her daughter's pregnancy - it was written in a note.



E! Online reported that Lynne Spears said on NBC's Today show Wednesday that Jamie Lynn handed her the note and told her to go into the bedroom and read it. The note said she was pregnant but "everything was gonna be OK, mom" and that she and boyfriend Casey Aldridge were going to raise the baby.



"I thought it was a joke," Spears said in an interview, according to E! Online. ". . . I kept waiting for the punch line." Spears said she realized it wasn't a joke because Aldridge wouldn't look at her.



"I was just truly in shock and then I started to cry. And then she started consoling me at that point," said Spears.



Lynne Spears said she blames herself for what happened.



"As a mother, don't we always blame ourselves? I mean, we're the first one that's gonna take the blame," she said, according to E! Online. "We never get the credit, but we always question ourselves and say, 'What did I do? We had this talk just a month ago.' I mean, I had no idea. I took a lot of the blame. I took all the blame."



Jamie Lynn announced her pregnancy last December. She and Aldridge welcomed daughter Maddie Briann in June.
