I'd love to say this when I have another bub!!

My poor sister has gone through this so many times as she has 4 boys.
The best thing she has said was "We found out the baby is a boy, which is wonderful as I had my heart set on having another boy and can't imagine being the mum to a girl". It has stopped anyone saying anything negative.

Congratulations on finding out you're having another gorgeous little man!!!

That is priceless. Love it and yes, I will be stealing it ;-)

How about that you're relieved its another boy cos your DH couldn't deal with another premenstrual woman in the house.

I don't get that (A) people think they actually have a right to comment and (b) people don't get that you might actually just be happy with a beautiful new baby! We are trying for No. 3, and with two girls already the very few people that do know have almost all assumed its because we're desperate for a boy. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I love that the way my 2 little girls play together, they have that sisterly love that I never had, I couldn't be happier having another girl. I do understand where you are coming from, earlier in my pregnancy when I was 'breaking the news' to everyone I was very over the looks of disappointment and the ohh I'm sorry... umm what are you sorry for exactly? I am not dissappointed at all so I have no idea why you are! It has all calmed down now... I did have a few moments where I mentioned my babies health (none of my babies have been born healthy so I cannot use that line, but it does seem to put it into perspective for them that gender means nothing when you have a sick baby).

sorry no help, just sympathy.

Maybe you could just burst into hysterical sobbing and wailing (throw in some hair pulling or chest beating for added drama). They will feel so awkward and freaked out that they'll never make another personal comment again.
