I was trying to be a tease.

The whole point of these cookies is to tease.

I wanted to make you guess what the sex of the baby is… but then I was so impatient and just could not keep a secret that I posted it on my mommy blog.

So please, dont go over there and find out the answer.  It would ruin all the fun!

But not really.

In honor of our soon to be addition (I am 28 weeks now!) I wanted to give YOU a new addition.

No, not my baby.

Yes, some of my cookies!

You are so smart.

More on that in a sec.

I made some cupcakes too!

I love those little fingers gripping the edge of our little cupcake.

Reminds me of some cute sneaky kids I know. Certainly not my own! *cough*

These cookies/cupcakes could not have been easier to make!  My only MUST DO tip is: Use a REALLY thick icing consistency on the little fingers.

Otherwise they will run together and just be blob hands.  And who wants a baby with blob hands?

Here is how to enter to win ONE DOZEN decorated sugar cookies!

Leave a comment on this post answering the question:

What do you think I am having, a boy or girl?  And if by chance, you were to guess boy for some random reason, can you please also suggest some names? Thank you.

Of course, you do not need to be right to win.

All you need is a valid email.  Also, I can only ship cookies to a US address.  Sorry!

Boy! Congratulations 🙂 If you’re feeling adventurous, I suggest Mohan. It means “charming” in Hindi.

I’m guessing a boy :), not that you gave it away or anything :D. What about Ethan or Daniel? Or Mark? Sam? Ok, I’m not so good at picking names haha.

  1. I would LOVE to win some of your cookies which are too cute TOO CUTE do you hear me I wouldn’t even EAT them.
    I’m going to “guess” that you’re having a boy. 😉
    And for a name, some of my favorites include Thomas, Ian, Sean, (pronounced “Shawn” and not “Seen”) and Jack.
    Yay babies! Yay you!

  2. I am guessing a boy and I have always loved the name Nicholas (but our last name is Nichols and I could not do that to my child :-), so we have a Christopher). I also like the names Andrew (Drew for short) and Zachary.
    If it is a girl I love the name Zoe (it is Greek for “life”).
    Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  3. It’s a BOY…YAY!!! That’s exciting for you all I’m sure!!! As far as names, I have a great one for you!!! How about ABRAM? (wink wink)

  4. My best boy names: (I feel certain one of these will be chosen, just say them out loud, slowly, while you pat your tummy. When he hears his name, you’ll get a sign. Or that’s my theory anyway. Heh.)
    Jensen
    Justin
    Brent
    Evan
    Drew
    Nathan
    Alexander

  5. Love the tease!! They are too cute!! I saw the mommy blog first so I already know!
    I like Barrett, Cash, Truin, Knox, Balen, Daxton (my 2nd son’s name…we call him Dax) and of course my newest little guy’s name, Lincoln:)

  6. Hmmm…. from your post, I think you are having … TWINS!! (since you are selecting TWO winners. 🙂 ) Also, I have the feeling they are boys (or at least, one is a boy) because you need boy names! lol! Okay, here are two boy names I love the sound of – Lawton (or Laughton) and Griffin. Of course my two boys are named Kyle and Drew! We were thinking short and sweet when we named them!

  7. These are ridiculously cute! Why didn’t I know about you and your talent when I was having babies? Having said all that, I have two boys, so I’m wishing you a girl, if for no other reason than because it was not my fate. But because I know how amazing boys are, I wish you a boy, too! So neither of those were guesses, just wishes. OKAY – I guess BOY! Some of my favorite names (I like traditional): Benjamin, William, Henry. Congrats and thanks for the giveaway!
