COUPLE WITH 12 SONS GIVE BIRTH TO ANOTHER BOY

Kateri and Jay Schwandt, the Michigan couple who has 12 sons and were expecting another baby, welcomed … their 13th son on Wednesday. Before the delivery, the parents, both 40, said they had a tradition of not knowing the child’s sex before birth, according to the Today Show. They added that with their luck it would probably be a boy. “If we were to have a girl, I think we would go into shock,” Kateri Schwandt said in October. “It would probably be disbelief.” The Schwandts are Roman Catholic and don’t believe in using birth control. Kateri said in an interview, “I love being pregnant. I’ve spent half of my life being pregnant. It’s very neat and very special.”
* How does this not rate a phone call from the Pope?
* “Thanks for doing your part for the franchise.”
* Appropriately named, Mr. Schwandt is.
* I say we all chip in and get Jay Schwandt a hobby.
* This reminds me – I have to pick up a dozen wieners on the way home.
* So they have a football team, a place kicker and a backup quarterback.
* Pretty soon Michigan will have a new congressional district.
* I’m guessing the labor process is pretty streamlined by now.
* “Oh look. She just dropped out another one.”
* Being pregnant is neat and very special? Okay, special I could see, but what’s neat about it?
* One thing’s for sure: If any of these kids gets picked on at school, the bully’s going to have a lot of people after him.
