Ok. this is something I expect to be hearing a lot of when it comes time to share our news.

Oh really...??? Was that an accident????

Our two kids are a bit older (11 and 8) we are a bit older (35 and 40) and after the second one we spent a lot of time saying "no, thats it, two is enough for us". No one has a clue that we were TTC. Not even our two girls.

So I am going to need a variety of comebacks to suit every mood and who it is that said it. I know there are some very wittya nd clever people hear in BB land and I am hoping for some inspiration please!

I also expect to hear a lot of....

So, are you hoping for a boy this time?

Which I am, but I dont intend on spreading that from the rooftops.
I've spent a lot of time freaking out about this issue because I am expecting #6 as a bit of a surprise.

I spent time coming up with responses, from snappy answers to answers designed to make the querying person just look rude. But this week I came to the conclusion that I am entitled to my privacy, that people aren't entitled to an explanation, I don't have to justify myself one way or another. I have just decided that rude and inappropriate comments are not worthy of a response, at all.

(I've got five girls so no doubt people will assume we tried for a boy!)
