MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Jessica Lynch, the former prisoner of war whose 2003 rescue in Iraq made her an instant celebrity, is pregnant.

She and boyfriend Wes Robinson are expecting their first child in January, publicist Aly Goodwin Gregg said Thursday.

best wishes to them.

Hopefully, she will raise a future patriot.

[ClearCase_guy]

Hopefully, she will eventually marry the father.

I hope all goes well with her. This is not the boyfriend who she was going to marry when she returned. Sounds like she may have come back to emotional distresses as well. I hope for her the best.

Here's a perfect opportunity for them to get married, then.

What's up with some of these young people today? Have any of them heard of marriage then babies! Geesh...........

It might sound judgmental, but it's a shame to see the words "and boyfriend" rather than "and husband". The best way to ensure you and your children stay out of poverty is to (1) finish school before getting married, and (2) get married before having children.

Best wishes.

I thought the same thing - but in most respectable relationships, marriage usually comes first.

On a side note I look in our local paper at all the baby announcements just to see how many of the parents both have the same name. It use to be no one would ever announce unless they were married, now at least 80% have different last names. Kind of sad really......

[MineralMan]

Ah, another unwed mother. Wonderful.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

life is not picture perfect. it never has been and it never will be.

Jessica has had a rough time. dont judge her. wish her the best and say a prayer for her.

[CholeraJoe]

Is she still paraplegic?

[theDentist]

Best wishes. I hope they marry. But why does she (still) have a "publicist"? Not that I'm lookig to douse their fire, but is it really any of our business?

[Lunatic Fringe]

Why ruin a perfectly good relationship by getting married???

[Armedanddangerous]

God bless her...I hope the baby is healthy..I know she has some health problems as a result of her war injuries.

She did her part...she deserves to be happy...I do hope she finishes school...however.

I noticed a similar trend here. Often, just the mother's name is listed.

[Poser]

Hey Jess! Congratulations. Now, get married and raise a great kid.

Just a reminder for anybody who forgot.
