If ONE more person says, "you look like you're carrying a girl" or "you're definitely having a boy with that belly" I may freak out.
Yes, I get it... old wives tales are fun. But scientifically, there's always going to be a 50-50 chance of your "theory" being wrong. Therefore, keep it to your damn self! We are keeping this baby a surprise for a reason... I don't need your thoughts and theories rammed down my throat. Thanks.

Give a snarky response.
“Really?!? That’s disappointing, I was hoping for a puppy”
“I’m learning more toward platypus”
“Early ultrasounds indicates it could be a pterodactyl”
You can’t control how people act, but you can control how you react. Have fun with it and don’t let it get to you.

We wanted this baby to be a surprise and everyone made me so mad telling me it HAD to be a girl that we ended up finding out because I was getting really upset that no one would just let us enjoy it. But before that I bought a shirt that said "Hoping for a dinosaur" on it because it is so annoying. When we announced it was another boy people were actually upset. Umm we're ecstatic so could you STFU and fake a little enthusiasm for us? People suck.

I've started with the snarky comments. The last one was my MIL's coworker that said I looked like I was carrying a girl. I said, "that's funny, because I've carried the same both pregnancies but I keep having a dream it's a chicken..." I'm ultimately annoyed because they all know my son isn't biologically my husband's- they all tell me that I "better have a boy to pass down the last name & if not, be prepared to have a 4th" like really? Who the hell do you think you are!? At first, my FIL would tease me about having a boy but now he says, "I hope you know that I was only joking and honestly just want another healthy grandbaby to spoil."
I have some that are great supporters and others that are not. It's more extended family/friends that are annoying me. @jessig2006 people were furious at first when we didn't find out at our anatomy scan. They wanted to know for "their" convenience 🙄 like... I'm sorry... whose baby is this?
