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!
As if I havent already given enough hints as it is, here is one more. 🙂
I will select two winners!
Good luck!
*****UPDATED WITH WINNERS*****
Quite possible the BEST and most complete list of boy baby names I have EVER come across! Â You guys are awesome!! Â I think one or two of you even guessed the name that I have been pondering!
Anywho… here are the winners!
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.

Congrats Rima and Lily!
this is a ridiculously cute idea!
as for names, i like the more unusual ones like johan and xander. but i also like jonathan.
I am guessing it is a boy 😉 Our boy is Ezekiel and we call him Zeke! I also love the name Ethan or Elijah! All these E’s! Your cookies are beautiful! Love the blog!
Congratulations!!! Boy, of course!!
My son is Grant, so I am partial to that. Also Joshua, classic name. Just don’t tell us!! God help you, you’ll have 500 comments telling you why it’ll ruin his life if you name him Fonteleroy or something.
Best of luck!! Love the cookies– my bff is delivering soon, gonna add these to the lit of cookie to decorate for her!
Congratulations on your boy!
What a wonderful blessing for your family.
Congrats too on being so busy with cookies & cakes.
As for baby boy names. . . I have a benjamin who was almost an Ezra, other names I love Simon, Nicodemus, & Calvin.
Have fun picking out a name!
This is the cutest idea!! I love it 🙂
From your hint I would say boy.
Peter
Collin
Caleb

Congrats! Awesome looking cookies!
Ummm boy! My boys are Alexander (Alex) and William (Will or William, or Willy to the 3 yr old). If we have another boy, I’m shooting for Matthew or Owen. There’s a cutie at daycare named Wesley and I think that’s a cool name too.
Congratulations! I love Andrew James.
Congrats! I peeked at your mommy blog – very exciting news 🙂 These cookies are sooo adorable. LOVE them! As for baby names, here are my favorites (at this time anyway): Ian, James, Elijah, Jacob, Noah and Oliver (it’s so hard to pick just one, isn’t it?)
