PARKERSBURG, W.Va. - Former POW Jessica Lynch became a mother on Friday, giving birth to a girl whom she named in honor of a fallen comrade.
Dakota Ann Robinson was delivered by Caesarean section at a local hospital at 5:10 p.m. The infant weighed 7 pounds, 10 ounces, said Lynch's publicist, Aly Goodwin Gregg.
"She's fabulous and fat," Gregg said. "She's beautiful."
Lynch and her boyfriend, Wes Robinson, named Dakota in honor of Lynch's friend, Army Spc. Lori Piestewa of Tuba City, Ariz., who was the first woman to be killed in combat in Iraq. Piestewa's middle name was Ann, and Dakota which means friendship or ally, Gregg said.
Lynch and Piestewa served together in the 507th Maintenance Company from Fort Bliss, Texas. They were roommates there and tentmates in Iraq. Piestewa died and Lynch was captured when their unit was ambushed on March 23, 2003, near Nasiriyah.
Lynch suffered two spinal fractures, nerve damage and a shattered right arm, right foot and left leg when her Humvee crashed during the firefight.
The story of her capture and dramatic nighttime rescue made her an instant celebrity. The 23-year-old Palestine native is now a sophomore at West Virginia University-Parkersburg. Gregg said she probably will take a semester off or take online courses.
While Lynch still has health problems, Gregg said she came through the C-section "like a champ."
"Jessie's doing great, the baby did great," she said. "She's easy to love, absolutely beautiful."
"Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example."

You're ignorance is showing. The dividing of assets and setting up of visitation is covered under court costs which are charged at the time of service.
Unacknowledged? Hmmm, unacknowledged you say and yet somehow or another this unacknowledged child had its birth announced through its mother's publicist. Strange, I would consider a birth announcement as being an acknowledgement...a rather public one in fact.
Keep throwing rocks, it so becomes you.
I didn't exaggerate. Here's what your post looked like in Firefox. You didn't close your font tag properly.
Have you ever stood before a traffic court judge, or divorce court, or any other court? Have you ever had to call the police (for any reason), or been stopped by the police? Ever had to call the fire department? Did you ever get grants for school? Did you attend private or public school?
Do you drive to work on public roads?
All of these things are funded by our taxes...if you use ANY of them at all...you should be ashamed of yourself for being such a hypocrite
Erm,
I stayed married until they both died hun. Believe me when I say, I was committed. I also need to be committed now, but that's another story. As for marriage? Not again.
The worst cases of child abuse and neglect I've ever seen came out of married (though crazy as loons) marriages. In situations where the parents 'stayed together' and the kids suffered. So I guess I don't see it as a marshmallow cream fix for life.
So while it's good, it's the best way to raise kids, yes. But don't get all frantic when folks don't do it. I've seen both sides of the coin.
I guess dead ain't good enough.....
Seti maybe?
Geez louise, I'm happy that a healthy baby has come into the world. End of story.
Do you hear organ music when you type?
You can count me among those who believe that a child needs a mother and father, preferrably a married mother and father, but as much as I would like to have the job of setting everybody straight to my way of thinking, that job has not been given to me! (That must be the "older sister" part of me!)
I choose to wish all 3 of them well, and keep the other stuff to myself.
She needs duct tape?
Thank you for the quote,
I like it.
You can add "And you for sure ain't gonna convert him if you insult him."
Counting isn't one of your strong suits either, is it.
Exactly,
If you and I were both Queens of the Universe, the world would be perfect, but we ain't, so it ain't. :)
I agree wholeheartedly with you about children needing a father and a mother, preferably married. Even when there's divorce (as in my case) it's important for the parents to still be Mom and Dad. Kids do need both if at all possible.
I just haven't found harshness and condemnation to be workable ways to communicate with people. People tend to tune out, get defensive and not really hear what could be valid points and food for thought.
Do I have to take classes to notice that the photo gives her monster arms?
Or does the art class make those invisible to me? Sort of "dumb me down".
Anybody want to talk about the results of all this self-indulgence:
What Jessica and the other single moms are creating is the Islamification of American women. Muliple wives/husbands, half siblings and step siblings all running themselves into jealousy and poverty.
American women are tossing out our Judeo/Christian culture that says men and women are equal before God for a culture that says women only make babies and don't have the right to be equal partners with men in marriage.
AMEN!
No... We heard you the first time you said this, I ignored it because it's flippin' loony.
