A delighted couple have welcomed a daughter into the family for the first time in a whopping 138 years. Carolyn and Andrew Clark, from Caledonia, in Michigan, America, welcomed their daughter Audrey on March 17, ending an almost 14-decade long hiatus on girls.
According to the Clarks' family records, a girl hasn't been born into the family since 1885, with Andrew admitting her gender came as a "huge surprise" to them all. When Andrew first told Carolyn about his family's struggle to conceive girls, she didn't believe him, saying every pregnancy has equal chance.
Speaking to Good Morning America, Carolyn said: "I'm like, 'Oh, it's a 50-50 chance every time. What do you mean?' He goes, 'No, legitimately, we have not had a girl in our direct line in over 100 years'.
