News video: The couple finally has a daughter after 14 sons

The Schwandt couple from Michigan wanted nothing more than a daughter – and did not give up until it finally worked out for child number 15.

What happened?

Hurray, it's a girl: the Schwandt family has every reason to cheer! The Michigan family has wanted a daughter for years – and now it has finally worked.

Okay … congratulations …?

Little Maggie Jayne was born healthy and happy and is now lovingly cared for by her dad Jay and her mom Kateri …

How nice!

… and her brother Tommy, her brother Calvin, her brother Drew, her brother Tyler, her brother Zach …

Oh, the family is big!

… her brother Brandon, her brother Gabe and her brother Wesley.

Wow, that's … huge. Phew!

Also of course they greet their brother Vinny, their brother Charlie …

What, that wasn't all yet?

… her brother Luke, her brother Finley …

Oh my God! When does it stop?

… her brother Tucker and her brother Francisco.

What … well … they all have the same parents, yes?

Sure, these are all the boys from Kateri and Jay Schwandt. A married couple, it has to be said, had a REALLY big wish for a daughter.

Indeed.

The couple have known each other since high school, married in 1993 and had their first children while studying. And then her family just didn't stop growing when one son after another saw the light of day. Her oldest son is now 28 years old and will soon be getting married himself. The extended family has long been a small celebrity in their homeland. They also stream videos under the title "14 Outdoorsmen" online. A title that now needs to be reconsidered.

I think it's exciting to grow up with so many brothers.

Guaranteed! And maybe she won't grow up so much differently from the many children before her. A sign that gives courage is a statement from son Tyler. "I don't even know if my mother has any pink clothes," he said, slightly surprised, to the Guardian. "Or anything pink at all."

heh
