Lucky for some: Michigan couple with 12 sons welcome boy number 13

A Michigan couple who already had 12 sons have kept the all-male streak alive with the birth of boy No. 13 on Wednesday. Jay Schwandt told The Associated Press that his wife Kateri gave birth Wednesday morning, four days after her due date. The couple had said they were sticking to the tradition of not knowing the baby’s sex ahead of time.

Ok, so the boys know now! It’s a BOY! Now we need to choose a name! BLESSED beyond belief!

The Schwandts live in Rockford, north of Grand Rapids. Kateri Schwandt, 40, says she has a lot of experience with large families, as one of 14 children herself. In an interview last week, she said she finds motherhood to be “very rewarding.” She added: "They will bring me flowers that they pick in the yard. Even if it’s a dandelion, it’s special because they were thinking of Mom.“

I’ve spent half of my life being pregnant. It’s very neat and very special. I love being pregnant.
