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 have this little quirk about always being right so I’m going to guess a BOY! I’m typing with one hand as I hold my second little boy who is 6 weeks old! Congrats! Going from girls to a boy you will be highly disappointed in the lack of cute clothes to choose from but little boys can steal a momma’s heart so much better than a mean ol’ girl!

  2. Boy? boys?
    Names I love, Ian, Bruce, Timothy, oh and I love my husband’s name Breck, because it is pretty rare to hear of it.
    The cookies are adorable!

  3. I LOVE the treats you create – and I would be thrilled to win some of your cookies! I’m partial to Robert Joseph…it’s my husband’s name. We have three daughters, so I’ve never had an opportunity for boy names. 😉

  4. I’m going to go with the longshot and guess boy!! haha… I am in love with the name Josiah right now, and am very partial to Elijah, Cooper, and Cash – but that could just be becasue of my three amazing nephews =o)
    Congratulations!!

  5. Congratulations!
    The cookies and cupcakes are so very, very cute!
    I like these names: Spencer, Lyndon, Whitney, Clayton

  6. Congrats! I love boys but am horrible about picking boy names! Sorry! Luckily I had a girl because her dad and I could not agree on a name. 🙂

  7. A boy!! Thanks so much including us!! Boy Names: I’ve always liked Lane and, of course, Brody, my son’s name 🙂 Can’t wait to see the lil’ guy!
