When my wife and I were expecting we wanted to keep the sex a surprise. I used every opportunity to be a pain in the ass about it. "Do you know what you're having?" "Well we suspect it's human but I who knows." "Boy or girl?" "No idea, they'll probably let us know at some point."
Amazing how bonkers it drove some people. Can't recommend it enough for this reason alone.
Other good options
"Is it a boy or a girl"
"Yes" / "One of those" / "Almost certainly" etc
"Idk, maybe we'll know within 30 years?" was my response when my mom asked me to guess if our nibbling was a boy or girl and she just changed the topic immediately.
