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!
A boy – I love my boys. Andrew – I love that name! I would love to win these cookies – a friend just had a baby and I would share them with her.
Hi Amanda! 🙂 Your peeking baby and cupcakes are too cute! My guess is a boy…and the names that I suggest are Samuel, Issac, Isaiah, Zane, Jacob, Ethan, and Ian.
Good luck with the contest! 🙂 Oh, and by the way…I still haven’t forgetten…I’d like to email you pics of the Bachelorette Cookies that you made for the party I went to, but I’m still waiting on my friend!
These are too cute, I love the little fingers gripping over the edge too. You must be so excited!
Sounds like a boy to me!
Those are the cutest little cookies and cupcakes I have ever seen!
I think you are having a BOY! My favorite boy name was Austin Calvin (favorite city and favorite cartoon character). I made the mistake of mentioning this name to a coworker (whome I am not good friends with). He had a baby first and took the first and middle name. So, me personally, I think it should be something best kept to yourself until the big reveal (though should I mention it took us almost a week in the hospital to pick a name for our bundel of joy ;)…..).
For a boy, I love the name Tristan (from Legends of the Fall).
I absolutely LOVE these cookies, and being 15 weeks was just starting to think about what theme I’d like for my shower (My MIL is throwing me a shower since it’s my first)… since we’re planning on not finding out the sex something like this would be really be cute for our shower.
So, if you’re having a little boy I’d suggest names like Jamie, Oliver, Philip, Patrick, Earl…. I know I have kind of old fashioned taste in baby names.
We’ll be in trouble if our little one turns out to be a boy, we can’t settle on a boy name at all – the girl name has been decided since before we even found out we were pregnant!
So glad you’re doing well, and congrats on your little bundle 🙂
Love all of your great ideas! I guess a boy. My favorite boy names are Noah, Owen, and Clyde. If it were to be a girl though, my favorite names are Mia and Lilliana.
CUTE CUTE CUTE COOKIES…..Having a boy…..and names Connor, Seth, Jason, Creed, Austin, Mark, Winston ( ;)and in case there is a surprise …Hannah….love them all…Congrats babies are sooo much fun enjoying a 6 month old now ( and a 2 year old)!!!
