Mom-to-be Jamie Lynn Spears is sporting some sparkling new jewelry – an engagement ring from fiancé Casey Aldridge.

Spears, 16, has been flashing the rock to friends and family around Louisiana and Mississippi, a source close to the family tells People.

“She’s got an engagement ring,” the source says. “She’s been showing it off, talking about it.”

Spears and her 18-year-old fiancé are expecting the baby this summer. No official word yet on a wedding date for the couple.

As Jamie Lynn Spears nears her summer due date, more and more well wishes are coming her way, including one from Nickelodeon buddy Emma Roberts.

“I think she’ll be a great mom and I wish her all the best with everything cause, you know, that has to be, hard,” Emma tells OK!.

Though the media has presented the two teen starlets to be close friends, Emma claims that’s not the case.

“I’m not really good friends with her,” she says. “I know everyone thinks I know the inside, [but] I don’t even talk to her. I saw her a lot for Nickelodeon and she’s a very sweet girl and really nice.”

If the 17-year-old gets to meet Jamie Lynn’s new bundle of joy, she’ll certainly have much experience being around babies. Her aunt, Julia Roberts, is mom to twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 3, and 9-month-old Henry, with whom Emma spends a lot of time with.

“I just hung out with her and the twins and the new baby,” she reveals. “We’re just family…She’s a really good mom. It’s really cute to see her with the kids.”

But despite all the family time together, the Unfabulous star concedes she probably won’t be baby-sitting the tykes any time soon even though aunt Julia would let her.

“I don’t know if could handle them, the twins. They are a lot of energy, but they are so much fun.”

With less than three months left before she becomes a mom, Jamie Lynn Spears is living it up — shopping, hanging out with her friends and behaving like any other normal teenage girl.

Even though the paparazzi have invaded her hometown of Kentwood, La., Jamie Lynn seems to have a better handle on them than her big sis, Britney Spears, did. “She has such a level head on her. She is handling this situation with a maturity that is surprising even her own family,” a friend of the Zoey 101 star says.

On March 9th, Jamie Lynn attended a local baseball game. A few days later she went on a coffee run with a girlfriend, and on March 13th, she hit up one of her favorite local shops, Connie’s Jewelry & Gifts, for a few trinkets. “She’s behaving like a pretty normal teen,” the friend says. “She’s not even worried about how much weight she puts on or doing any special exercises. At her age, her body will bounce right back and she knows it.”

As far as her relationship with her sister is concerned, the friend says that Britney and Jamie Lynn talk at least every couple of weeks, and are working to re-establish the closeness they once had.

Miley Cyrus has admitted that she cried after finding out good friend Jamie Lynn Spears was pregnant.

The two teen sensations are good friends having both worked on their respected shows Hannah Montana and Zoey 101.

However, the younger sister of Britney Spears had her program canceled due to the pregnancy scandal.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Miley reveals: “When I first heard she was pregnant, I started crying. I was heartbroken to tell you the truth because she’s my friend and I didn’t want her life to change.

“But now she’s actually getting really excited and even though it’s a difficult situation, I’m happy for her now because she’s happy that she made the choices she did.”

The 15-year old also claims that she won’t be following in the same footsteps at Jamie Lynn’s troubled older sister Britney.

“Well, I’m aware that things can happen,” she says. “But I keep my friends and family superclose and that really helps.”

Jamie Lynn Spears is coming to primetime.

The pregnant Zoey 101 star will appear in an episode of the ABC comedy, Miss Guided, premiering March 20 (8 p.m. ET). Judy Greer stars in the sitcom, playing a formerly awkward high school student who returns to her alma mater all grown up — and as a guidance counselor. Spears will appear in the premiere episode, called “Hot Sub,” as Mandy Ferner, a troubled student who gets some exciting news from college, according to ABC.

The show will also feature another big guest star: Ashton Kutcher, who executive-produced the sitcom, will play the titular hot sub — a Spanish teacher and a possible romantic interest for Greer’s character.

As a midseason addition to the schedule, Miss Guided was filmed in October after Spears wrapped Zoey 101 — but before the young actress announced her pregnancy.

Sources confirm to PageSix.com that Jamie Lynn Spears is carrying a baby boy!

The Nickelodeon star’s big sis Britney was spotted grabbing gifts for the new little guy at luxe baby boutique Petit Tresor in West Hollywood. PageSix.com has learned that the shop will outfit her nursery as well.

The junior starlet has set her sights on an ocean theme for her unborn son’s first bedroom, and has purchased around $7,000 of “very basic” furniture.

The room will feature classic pieces like a round crib, standard changing table and an armoire, all in white.

“This is the most fun I’ve had shopping in a long time,” Jamie Lynn said, according to our spies.

MSNBC reports that Brit picked up organic blankies from Robbie Adrian ($116 each), favorites of stars like Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Lopez.

It’s lot of shopping for a girl who should have ample hand-me-downs from big sis Britney, mom to two boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James. When will grandma Lynn get a break from the Y chromosome?

Jamie Lynn is reportedly due in late May. Reps for Jamie Lynn did not return calls for comment.
