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! You guys are awesome!! 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!
First of all I want to say THANK YOU for all these amazing photos and recepies! Unfortunately I can’t really participate in this comopetition personally, cause I’m Finnish (and, well, live in Finland, more importantly), but I’d like to join for a US friend, if that’s ok.
I’m guessing you’re having a boy, and gosh I hope my first baby will be a boy too! For some reason I want a boy before a girl, just seems… better. I really like the name Elijah, for some reason it’s very beautiful.
God Bless!
I am going to go with a boy. And my boy name is Wyatt.
Boy! Congrats. I partial to Maxwell 🙂
First off, congratulations to you and your family! Secondly, I’m going to assume you are having a boy since you wanted recommendations for a boy name. And lastly, here are some names at the top of my head: Matthew, Benjamin, Christian, Jarred, Evan, Landon, Mason, Gavin, Wyatt, Jeremiah, Tristan, Dominic, and William.
sooo cute! congrats!
Congratulations!
Congrats! I love James! James, James, James!
Congratulations Friend!!!! I am sooooo happy for you. Those are the cutest little cookies and cupcakes evah!
I’m guessing boy! (Ok! So I read the other blog!)
Congrats by the way!
For names–I love names that mean something! When we named our daughter, we gave her a name with a strong meaning and that we knew very few people in her class would have. (So no Sarah or Elizabeth for us!)
Aaron–means “exalted”
Reeve–means “a steward”
Rick–means “brave and strong”
Do you have a letter theme in your household? Like…do your other kids have “matching” names?
Congrats again! I love looking at your cookies! I totally hope I win! (Just saying!)
First off, congratulations! So exciting for you.
Let’s see, if you were having a boy, I’d suggest the name Kai. I like names that are a little unusual, but no TOO weird, and this is the only one for guys that I’ve ever found to fit the bill!
