Ok, there's something I find weird in this story →[More:]Everywhere I read it says the same thing- the couple is having a baby in May. Which means they conceived in September, like, 3,4 weeks ago. Who announces that they're 1 month pregnant? They don't. Most people wait until the end of the first trimester, right? That's why I don't think they're having a baby in May; I think they're having a baby in... February? March? Might explain why (presumably) Mormon Mom and Dad were so freaked out.

Just a theory; carry on.

I though the same exact thing when I read that article, TPS. The math seemed odd.

Honestly, though, just about everyone I know starts ringing the alarm the minute the pee hits the stick. I think I'm the only person I know who still goes by the three-month rule. (And actually, there's still people I haven't told yet.)

Well, now just possibly they were just getting married, not due to pregnancy or anything. It's just possible that they got pregnant on their honeymoon. Since the story is only being reported now, it's possible that the pregnancy followed the marriage. (/Can you imagine!!! OMG, someone who got married before the baby!!!/) I'd like to know what the parents motives were. Maybe they were afraid she'd get pregnant right away, and always have a link to someone they don't feel is worthy of their daughter. Maybe they just think she's too young. Too many questions, I want to know more! ;^)
