Carolyn and Andrew Clark have a four-year-old boy named Cameron, which was expected when you look at Andrew’s family tree. Andrew is one of three boys. His dad is also one of three boys. His grandfather is one of four boys. And his great grandpa was one of two boys.
The last time there was a girl in Andrew’s family line was back in 1885! 138 years ago, back when Grover Cleveland was president.
“There’s been quite a boy run for a while,” shared Andrew.
That is, until now. Carolyn and Andrew Clark recently welcomed a little girl to the family and named her Audrey.
During the family’s gender reveal, everyone at the party was completely overjoyed and surprised to find out that a baby girl was on the way, something that hadn’t happened for the family in five generations.
“We were very shocked,” said Carolyn.
And when Andrew and Carolyn first were married, he had to make sure to let her know that they may never have a girl. “Yeah, I kind of explained to her, having a girl is a very low chance in my family. We haven’t had one in 130 and some odd years at that point,” shared Andrew.
But now that Audrey is here, the family is just overflowing with happiness.
“We’re just thankful that she’s here and that she’s healthy and we get to enjoy her,” Carolyn shared.
And many people shared their well-wishes with the family online after hearing about their story.\\
“She’s the family princess. Such a lucky little bundle. Congrats and best of luck,” one person comments online.
“138 years? Wow, that’s very unique,” another person writes on YouTube. “She’s got some very special treatment coming her way.”
It’s safe to say that this family will be doting on their baby girl for a while. Congratulations to them all!
