Pressure from family about specific gender

cosmix

How do you ladies deal with family members who say they "wish for" a specific gender? Such as a MIL who wants a boy to carry the family name or look just liker her own son?

I'm 14 weeks pregnant and already have a girl and I just wish for a happy healthy baby. Being 37, I already worry enough about the increased odds of genetic disorders, carrying the baby safely to term, safe delivery, etc. I think all babies should be cherished without regard to gender.
