It’s a boy! Again.

A Michigan man whose 13th son was born Wednesday says he is convinced that it is medically impossible for him and his wife to produce a girl.

Despite their track record, Jay Schwandt and his wife, Kateri, stuck with the tradition of keeping the baby’s gender a surprise.

Now all they have to do is agree on a name. There aren’t many left. Weeks earlier, the mom and dad polled their brood on their sibling preference. The 12 sons — Tyler, 22, Zach, 19, Drew, 18, Brandon, 16, Tommy, 13, Vinnie, 12, Calvin, 10, Gabe, 8, Wesley, 6, Charlie, 5, Luke, 3, and Tucker — were asked to raise their hands if they wanted another brother. Only three of them did.

After their 12th son was born, a university professor calculated the odds of having a dozen boys at 3 in 10,000.
