Jamie Lynn Spearsis settling into life as a mom of two.
The singer-songwriter and husbandJamie Watsonwelcomed daughterIvey Joanon April 11; the former Nickelodeon star is also mom to daughterMaddie Briann(who turns 10 next month) from a previous relationship.
“Things are getting back to normal now,” Spears tells PEOPLE of her first monthwith a family of four. “It’s definitely shifted the dynamic a little bit, because you go from having one child for 10 years, and that’s your full focus.”
Adds the 27-year-old, “Having to find that balance, it’s important to have a partner who can pick up the slack where you can’t.”

The Kentwood, Louisiana-based star and her businessman husband have found an efficient system for splitting up responsibilities — for instance, Watson, 35, handles Maddie’s pick-up and drop-offschedule for basketball andsoftball practice, while Spears is on diaper duty and feeding.
“Iam breastfeeding, soshe is pretty on-demand with that,” Spears says of Ivey.
