I know what you mean about the pressure. Fortunately or otherwise, though, we can't pick the gender of our babies. My MIL was disappointed that we're having a second girl, because there are so many girls in her family. She only had one son, and only has 2 grandsons. She has 6, soon to be 7, granddaughters, though.
Who knows, though, maybe you'll break the family pattern and have the girl that everyone wants, right? Good luck
