ROCKFORD, Mich. - It's a boy, again!

The Schwandt family of Rockford, Michigan welcomed their 14th son into the world this week, putting to rest any thoughts that maybe, just maybe, a little girl would break the streak.

Jay and Kateri Schwandt announced Wednesday that they have added a new bundle of joy to their already large brood. The as-of-yet unnamed little one was born weighing 8 pounds 4 ounces and is 21 inches long.



After a certain number of baby boys, the birth of each new son seemed to land the Schwandt family in the national headlines, with the latest boy being no exception.

The Grand Rapids Press reported that, three sons ago, a genetics counselor had calculated the odds of a 12th consecutive baby boy at .02 percent.

After their 13th son was born, Jay Schwandt told WXMI:


The oldest Schwandt son is now 25, the youngest after the newborn is 2.
