This family welcomes their first daughter after 138 years
Carolyn and Andrew Clark were over the moon when they welcomed their daughter, Audrey, on March 17. In addition to the joy of expanding their family, this birth was extremely special considering that no daughter had been born on Andrew's side of the family for over 13 decades.
No girl since 1885
Carolyn admits she was surprised when Andrew told her about his family history.
The couple wanted to have a daughter.
The couple had a 4-year-old son named Cameron when they were trying for another child. Both were hoping for a girl.
After 2 miscarriages, the couple discovered that Carolyn was pregnant again. And at that point, they didn't have a preference for the gender of the baby. They were just thankful and praying for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
The moment of great discovery.
In September, during a gender reveal party with family and friends, the Clarks learned they were expecting a girl.
The guests couldn't believe it considering that it was the first girl in 138 years for them. Andre admitted that it was really difficult to find a name.
On March 17, the couple's daughter, Audrey, was born, bringing immense joy to the family. Carolyn stated that her daughter's arrival was even more meaningful because she was worth the wait and all the hardships they had faced.
