Kateri and Jay Schwandt of Rockford, Mich., welcomed their 12th baby into the family last week. A brood of now — count 'em — 12 boys.
上周，美国罗克福德市的卡蒂丽和杰斯迎来了他们的第12个宝宝。都有一群了，数下， 12个男孩儿。
“We didn't know what he would be when he was first born,” a smiling Kateri Schwandt told the local NBC News station. “We don't find out. It's always a boy, but it's always a surprise."
Tucker Ray Schwandt was born on Aug. 4 — the newest sibling among the other boys ranging in age up to 21 years old.
Tucker Ray Schwandt在8月4号出生——.是男孩儿里最年幼的。他们年龄不等，最年长的有21岁。
Tucker's 11 older brothers rushed into their mother's room at St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Rapids, Mich., to greet their newest brother.
塔克的11个哥哥涌进密歇根州激流市圣玛丽医院母亲的病房迎接最年幼的弟弟。
"I never imagined I'd be sitting here with my 12th child," Jay Schwandt, said.
“我从未想过会跟自己的第12个宝宝一起坐在这里，”杰斯说。
The proud parents told the station they had been hoping for a girl, but this time, like the past 11 times, it was not to be.
这对自豪的父母告诉电台他们一直希望有个女儿，但是这一次与以往的11次一样，也不是女孩儿。
"I'm sure a little girl probably would be fun, but we know what we're doing. Sometimes I feel like I'm living in a locker room," Kateri Schwandt said. She certainly has enough sons to form a football team.
The family's oldest son, Ty, said there are benefits to being part of such a large family.
家里最年长的儿子Ty说，成为这个大家庭中的一员也能有不少益处。
"I know how to manage time and manage a schedule and make sure kids get where they need to be and get picked up when mom forgets every now and then," he said.
他说，“我懂得如何管理时间和日程，当妈妈不时忘记的时候，还要确保孩子们的接送。”
Amazingly, dad Jay says he’s not opposed to having more kids. He says maybe the 13th “will be the charm” that gets the family a girl.
令人惊讶的是，父亲杰斯说他不反对有更多的小孩。他说或许第13个会有给家里带来一个女孩儿的魔力。

I have three boys and a husband. Trust me, I use the master bathroom almost exclusively. I can't stand cleaning pee off the floor or stepping in a wayward puddle while I'm half-asleep.
