A couple in Rockford, Michigan, who had catapulted to fame when they had their 12th boy, announced that now expecting their 13th child.
Jay and Kateri Schwandt had caused a stir when they welcomed their 12th son, Tucker, on August 4th, 2013 at Mercy Health Saint Mary’s Hospital. They are expecting their 13th child on May 9th, 2015. All of their children are male, and while they had said that they would welcome a daughter, they don’t think their next child will be a girl.
“If we were to have a girl, I think we would go into shock. It would probably be disbelief”, Kateri told a Michigan daily.
Father-in-waiting Jay said that he would love to welcome a girl, and imagines father-daughter dances and walking her down the aisle.
“I’ve experienced all the boy stuff. As long as we are having all these children, it would be really neat to experience the other side”, he said
He added that he would like to see what effect a girl would have in a household of twelve boys, ranging from 15 months to 22 years.
“The stuff that goes on in this house is all-boy – roughhousing and wrestling. If there was a little girl in there, I assume it would be different”, he said.
Kateri adds that she leans towards having another boy though.
“A little girl would be neat to have in the house, but a little boy kind of takes the pressure off. We know what we are doing. Why change things up?” she said.
However, the couple said that they would not find out the baby’s sex in advance.
“We are both super-excited, and obviously we are just hoping for a healthy baby”, she said.
Kateri, 39, said, “I love being pregnant. I’ve spent half of my life being pregnant. It’s very neat and very special”.
