A mom of 17 and her husband, who feel blessed by their ever-expanding family, are continuing to uphold a tradition since giving birth for the 17th time: every baby has a name beginning with the letter “C.”

Patty Hernandez, 41, is originally from Guatemala, and her husband Carlos, 40, is from El Salvador. They’ve made their home in Charlotte, North Carolina, and have welcomed each of their children with open arms.
