A US couple who already have 12 sons but no daughters have welcomed a 13th boy into their household.<\/p>\n
The latest member of the Schwandt family was born on Wednesday morning in Grand Rapids, Michigan.<\/p>\n
In keeping with family tradition, Jay and Kateri Schwandt chose not to know the baby’s sex before the birth.<\/p>\n
“I was thinking, ‘If this is a girl, I don’t know what my reaction is going to be’,” said Mr Schwandt, 40, just moments after his son was born.<\/p>\n
The ages of their boys extend over more two decades, starting with Tyler, 22, followed by Zach, 19, Drew, 18, Brandon, 16, Tommy, 13, Vinnie, 12, Calvin, 10, Gabe, 8, Wesley, 6, Charlie, 5, Luke, 3, and 21-month-old Tucker.<\/p>\n
“There’s a lot of commotion, a lot of chaos, but there’s also a lot of love,” said Ms Schwandt.<\/p>\n
The family is now trying to settle on yet another boy’s name, and have been seeking a little help from their other sons.<\/p>\n
But so far the boys still haven’t agreed on a name.<\/p>\n
