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 kinda wanna go for twin boys….I may be wrong:)
    Ummm…names…well…I’m a sucker for Biblical names. They’re so classy…
    Micah is a great name for a boy…Micah James. OR I like the idea of Emerson as a boys name too.

  2. These are so adorable. Wish I was as talented as you! For boys, I love the names Axel, Kingston, Elijah, and Mason. Even though you didn’t ask for this, I love the name Olive for a girl. Keep doing what you do!

  3. Oooo, I would love to win some baby cookies–my little one is currently considering coming out today, I think! (I’m due on Tuesday. 🙂 )
    I’m going to guess boy because that’s what I’m having. 🙂
    I like classic names… Benjamin, James, Ian, Jacob, Ethan… Names are so hard to decide on, though, I feel your pain!

  4. It’s pretty clear you are having a boy, even without peeking.
    Are you looking for simple names, or less common ones?
    Simple: Michael, Roger, Stephen, David, John
    More exotic: Lucas, Caleb, Lyon, Dimitri, Andreas
    Congratulations!

  5. I’m hoping you have a healthy baby… that’s it, a health baby boy or girl!! I will suggest the name James though. It works well for nicknames if you want nicknames- Jim, Jimmy, depending on middle name initials work too JT, JD, etc.
    Thanks for all you do!!!

  6. The son of a friend of mine just turned one, and I remember when she found out he was a he, everyone was full of congratulations, of course, but privately she was thinking “Oh NO, what will I do with a boy?!” Naturally, she figured it out quickly and now is just the best mom evar to baby Leo.
    I want to guess girl! Just ’cause. But as far as boy names go, I like Joel, Kyle, and Noah. I guess I’m partial to four-letter names?

  7. This year we have a pre-k student who’s first name is Atticus I think it’s so neat. My own personal favorite is Grayson. Congrats on the new addition!

  8. LOL, boy! I like the name Kyle. That’s what my 2nd son – which I never had – was going to be called. The first one got the plain ol’ name of John 😉
