Michigan couple with 14 sons welcome their first daughter

A Michigan couple whose large family attracted attention by growing to include 14 sons has welcomed their first daughter nearly three decades after the birth of their first child.

Kateri Schwandt gave birth Thursday to Maggie Jayne, who weighed in at 7 pounds, 8 ounces (3.4 kilograms) and entered a world filled with 14 older brothers.

Jay Schwandt said he and his wife, both 45, “are overjoyed and beyond excited to add Maggie Jayne to our family.”

We are 8 and my youngest sister is 23 years . She is a pharmacist and my parents and all of her siblings still give her money and gifts and she keeps her money for herself🤣🤣. She is the real princess.
