We're having another baby. #4 will be our last and, as it turns out, #4 will also be our 4th boy.
"Oh well, as long as it's healthy I suppose."
"Never mind, as long as it's healthy."
"Don't worry, at least it's healthy."
"It's okay, you'll just have to try again. I know someone who had four boys and then a girl."
No. Not "Oh well," or "Never mind" or "Don't worry". I don't need consoling. Why assume that I would? Why the look of pity? I have 3 beautiful, amazing boys already... are they supposed to be so horrible that I'd be desperate to have a girl? What's wrong with simply saying "Congratulations!"?
We were trying for a baby, not a girl. If we were so shallow as to only be in it for the experience of having a girl then we would have been better off heading down to the pet store and buying a female puppy. 8-|
