The western Michigan couple who made national headlines in 2015 when they welcomed their 13th boy are expecting their 14th child and once again, are hoping to add a baby girl to the mix.
Jay and Kateri Schwandt, of Rockford, Michigan, have determined that they will wait until April, when the child is born, to learn its sex.
‘I would love to have a girl, but I just don’t think it’s in the cards,’ Jay said to NBC 4 News.

They already have Tyler, 24, Zach, 21, Drew, 20, Brandon, 18, Tommy, 15, Vinnie, 14, Calvin, 12, Gabe, 10, Wesley, 8, Charlie, 7, Luke, 5, and Tucker, who will turn 4 in August. Their 13th will be turning two.
And while the prospects of the couple having a girl are small, they anticipate the child’s arrival and aren’t worried about the financial burden that may come.
‘If you have three, it’s the same as having 10 at this point, if you ask me,’ Kateri said.
‘It’s just more chaos, more noise. It’s nothing we’re not used to at this point.’

But the couple assert that after baby number 14, they will be closing up shop.
‘I’m thinking that this is it. It just feels like this is going to be it, and we’re going to enjoy every second of it,’ Jay said.
Kateri did note, however, that they had planned to stop after baby number 13.
But for the Schwandts, they just can’t imagine a world without a baby.
