Nearly three months after giving birth in her Walker Tower dorm bathroom, the University College freshman who didn’t know she was pregnant until she gave birth said she and her baby boy, Lane, are doing well.

Elizabeth Hess, who agreed to shed her anonymity, said motherhood is an ongoing learning experience.

“It’s interesting, but I’m learning and I have a lot of people helping me,” Hess said.

Her family, friends and Lane’s father, Tyler, are all part of Hess’ support network, she said.

Hess said she and Tyler plan to marry in August.

Lane is growing and is up to 10 pounds now, she said. As he gets older, he also has become much more animated, Hess said.

“He looks a lot like his dad, but he’s got my eyes,” she said.

Hess’ former roommate, Morgan Foreman, who helped deliver Lane, still is involved in their lives. Foreman, who will be Lane’s godmother, said she most recently visited Hess and Lane last weekend for a baptism meeting.

“It’s been such a wonderful experience just being a part of such a neat story and it turned out so positively,” Foreman said. “He’s such a wonderful addition to their family, and I’m glad I can be a part of it.”

After The Daily’s February publication of two articles about Hess’ delivery, producers of the Discovery Channel’s program, “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant,” contacted and interviewed Hess.

She said the show will use actors to recreate the scene of her giving birth and will feature an interview questioning her about events leading up to Lane’s birth. The date and time of show’s airing have not been announced.

Hess said she and Lane have been living with her parents in Enid since February. She said she is returning to OU for summer school and enrolling in fall 2009 classes.
