Before the delivery, the parents, both 40, said they had a tradition of not knowing the child's sex before birth, according to Today. 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 odds of giving birth to 13 sons in a row are about 1 in 8,000.
