They’re on your tail, Duggars! A Michigan couple with 12 sons is expecting their 13th child in May — and aren’t finding out the sex of the baby!
Jay and Kateri Schwandt’s latest little one is due on May 9, and according to a new interview, they wouldn’t be surprised if they had yet another boy.
“If we were to have a girl, I think we would go into shock,” Kateri, 39, said to The Grand Rapids Press, via the Associated Press. “It would probably be disbelief.”
Jay and Kateri are already parents to sons Tyler, 22, Zach, 18, Drew, 17, Brandon, 15, Vinny, 11, Tommy, 12, Calvin, 9, Gabe, 7, Wesley, 6, Charlie, 4, Luke, 2, and Tucker, 14 months. Although the couple insist they just want a healthy tyke, Jay can’t help but gush at the possibility of having a daughter.
“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,” Jay explained. “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.”
Still, Kateri thinks having another son would be easier to handle. “A little girl would be neat to have in the house, but a little boy kind of takes the pressure off,” she said. “We know what we are doing. Why change things up?”
“I love being pregnant,” the matriarch added. “I’ve spent half of my life being pregnant. It’s very neat and very special.”
