Actually, Jon was born before Robb. Not by much, but I think he was born before Robb was conceived. I think that's a major reason Catelyn was so unkind to Jon, thinking he could potentially be a real threat to her children's inheritance, or try to cause trouble in that way. The later books go into a bit more detail about the chronology of things, but we still don't know the identity of Jon's mother, though there are a few popular theories. I think the one you like is the most likely, and it's become the most popular theory, I'm pretty sure.
Keep in mind that even if you read slowly, you're likely to read Dances with Dragons long before the next book is finished, let alone published. I believe Martin isn't even going to start working on it till January.
