Everytime I hear that question, I can't help but think, "Keep your nose out of my reproductive business." I know it is just the excitement of people who have more than one child for people who are just starting a family, but really, if and when we decide to have more children is none of their business. What if we only wanted one? What if we can't have more than one? I don't suppose people ever think of those things when they ask the question.
The question that always follows is: "Are you going to try for a boy?" As if we really have any choice. I know, I know, there are those old-wives-tales and new-wives-tales that claim all sorts of ways to ensure a boy, from positions to foods to temperature to time of the month and on and on.
When we have another child, we will be thrilled with whatever it is. Boy or girl, healthy or not, we will love it when it arrives. But in the meantime, quit asking when it's going to happen.
*This is not directed at anyone in particular, it's just a frustration that's cropped up over the months.

Funny you should mention this because I've been wondering, in light of Miguel's desire, how it was going!
But in defense of the common people, they're all idiots. Try not to listen to them and come up with some sort of put-'em-in'-their-place wise crack.
This is just as bad as "I see you got it all over with at once!"
No matter what, people will say thoughtless things.
