To be hurt about how people react when I tell them that we are having another baby boy?

Just that.

We have a little boy who is a toddler and I am pregnant with our second baby.

Two people have been happy and excited.

The worst reactions have been 'are you sure?' and one person actually said, 'are you disappointed?'

It has really hurt my feelings.

Just me or anyone else? And why do people think it is okay to do that?

I agree its annoying and stupid but I imagine that most of the time its just small talk and people being thoughtless.

I have one of each and we got told we had "a gentleman's family" a lot - I just smiled and said thanks. I admit that I always wanted at least one girl. And there's a little part of me that would love if she had a sister. But you don't get a choice in these things.

In regards to having a second boy I think its fantastic that you'll be able to use same clothes again, etc. And hopefully they'll be good friends growing up. And also it might be handy when it comes to activities when they are older as there is more of a chance that they might be in to the same things - e.g. dropping them to football practice at same time, etc.

I reckon if children had a choice in these things they would choose a sibling of the same gender!!

People were very rude when I was pregnant with twin boys. Lots of poor yous, rather you than me, oh no not boys. I did get nice comments too though. I get very broody over tiny baby boys, more so than baby girls!
