Former prisoner of war Jessica Lynch and her fiancé, Wes Robinson, welcomed a daughter on Friday. Dakota Ann weighed 7 lbs., 10 oz., and measured 19 inches long. "She is just fat and gorgeous," says family spokeswoman Aly Goodwin Gregg. "Jessi was calling her a little porker. She already sucks her two fingers and she has wonderful chubby cheeks. Jessi is thrilled, absolutely thrilled."
Dakota Ann is named after Lynch's close friend Pfc. Lori Piestewa, who was one of 11 soldiers killed in March 2003 when their military convoy was attacked in Iraq.
"Dakota is a Native American word for friend or ally, and Ann was Lori's middle name," Gregg explains. "The name is in honor of Jessi's friendship with Lori."
