Clark asks his wife while recalling, “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.”
The mother said, “We kept it a secret to ourselves as well, So I just assumed it was going to be blue in the centre of the cookies and it’d be another boy in the lineage.”
Carolyn, on the other hand, was overjoyed to welcome her newborn after a miscarriage in January 2021.
