Girl Baby Excitement

Personally, my husband and I didnt really care for gender we were 200% happy with a boy or girl! Its everybody around me that is making it a big deal and I really dont know what to say to them. A coworker just had her baby and asked me what the gender is and when I told her she really said " omg i wish i had a girl... i really want a girl." I was kind of shocked because she just had her son? and all the other women at work squeal and are always saying " a girl!! girls are so much better!!" and its just really odd to me personally because i think all babies are really cute i just feel like everyones acting so weird i dont know if its been like this for anybody else ? thoughts ?
