This is kinda like if a coin gets head 5 in a row. What is the next flip going to be? Most people would say tails, but the coin doesn't know that. There is an equally chance of getting a heads again. The same here, there a equally likely chance of getting a boy or girl. Actually, the real percentages of guy to girl are 52%ish to 48%ish, respectively.
