I'm not even pregnant and I get comments like this!
DH has 2 girls (16 and 12) and everytime the topic of babies come up, it doesn't matter where we are or who we are with, I always get the 'oh, you'd better have a boy so your DH can have a son'
I have answered back with 'DH doesn't care, as long as it's healthy' blah blah... but I do like the blue spotted rhinocerous reply!!! Ha!!
We found out this time, and when people ask if we know I say "yes, but we're not telling, it's a surprise for everyone else". We only found out because DH really wanted another boy. I've found that when you say the above, people kinda stop asking or commenting on gender and have been respectful of our decision to keep it to ourselves. Me on the other hand - I've told DH that next time (when/if we're lucky enough), we're not finding out, I preferred not knowing last time, even though it ate me alive!
Before we found out though, I did have lots of people saying that I must really want a girl. I was like "um, no, I'd be quite happy to have a bunch of boys! I didn't have any sisters... But pregnant, then healthy bub is probably first on the list!"
Oh - if my DH's family weren't a little sensitive, I'd LOVE the human line
