Boy or girl? Family with 12 sons finds out soon about No. 13

ROCKFORD, Mich. (AP) – A western Michigan couple with 12 sons is waiting to find out whether baby No. 13 keeps the streak going.

Jay and Kateri Schwandt’s baby is due Saturday, the day before Mother’s Day, and they’re sticking to their tradition of not finding out in advance whether they’re having a boy or girl.

They’ve said they’d be shocked if the baby is a girl. Kateri Schwandt tells The Grand Rapids Press this week “odds are not in our favor” but they’ll be happy either way. She grew up in a family of 14 kids and says “Every day is Mother’s Day.”

The Schwandts live Rockford, north of Grand Rapids. Jay Schwandt says it’s probably a boy, but “if I could put my order in, I would root for a girl.”
