** GIVEAWAYS CLOSED **

(Honeybear Lane used a similar graphic for her gender reveal party, so thanks for the idea!)
The most common question I've gotten this pregnancy is, "Are you hoping for a boy?" or some variation of that.
It's a natural question, since we've got two girls already.
And if I'm being honest, if I could choose, I probably would choose a boy. I want to experience having both boys and girls. It would be fun to do something different this time again.
But that being said, we make some pretty darn cute girls, and we'll be absolutely thrilled to have another one.
So what do I think we're having?
A boy.
Wait a minute.
Before you start throwing in your hat with me, let me tell you that I also was convinced that both of my girls were boys.
My mother's intuition? Well, it's not there apparently. At least not when it comes to guessing what our babies are!
And at this point, you might even call it wishful thinking. :)
We find out one week from today what our sweet little babe is, and I thought it would be fun to have a little par-tay here on the blog with all of you!
I want YOU to guess what our baby is!
If you get it right, you'll have a chance to win one of these fantastic prizes:
** $25 gift certificate to A.Okay Designs. **
Baby may just need one of these cute Pixie stocking caps. My due date is in the winter after all!
There are also lots of different appliqued onesies. I'm loving this argyle one!
You can also visit Crystal's blog, Crystal's Craft Spot for tutorials and ideas, and keep up with Crystal on her Facebook page, too! She's a total sweetheart!
** $25 gift certificate to Flamingo Toes Designs **
There are lots of beautiful items to choose from. Some of my faves are these Pearl Cluster Earrings

and this Silver Shimmer Nest Ring.

Bev is just so much fun, so you'll definitely want to check out her blog, Flamingo Toes, for some inspiration, and follow her on Twitter and Facebook for more ideas and some SYTYCD discussions!
** 3 Pack of Sewing E-Books of your choice from Whimsy Couture **

I own many patterns from Whimsy Couture, and I love that they are easy to follow and understand; I'm still a beginning seamstress! Plus, everything is just to die for cute!
These lacettes (leg warmers) are next on my list to purchase. Sooo cute with the ruffle fabric!

The strappy tops/dresses pattern is one of my all time faves. This is a picture of my one year old wearing what might be one of my favorite things I've ever made using this pattern.
Denise is so kind and wonderful, and you'll want to keep up with her on her Whimsy Couture blog, as well as her Facebook page.
** 2 Patterns of choice from Little Lizard King **
This is another fantastic pattern shop! I have a few patterns from Little Lizard King, and they always produce a beautiful product!
Ruffles? Cute baby and toddler legs? Check out this Ruffled Sunsuit pattern!

And I'm a sucker for rompers, so this Halter Romper pattern has me drooling!

You can can also keep up with Little Lizard King's blog and Facebook page for more tutorials and features!
** $10 gift certificate to Love Stitched **
Love Stitched is the reigning couture accessories shop! There are so many beautiful items to choose from!
These Little Lou rosette pins are just adorable and sweet!

This Ashley Lynn bib necklace has me swooning with the mustard and cream!

I've had the opportunity to meet Brittany in real life, and she is just as wonderful in person as she is online. You'll definitely want to follow along with her blog, Love Stitched, to get some outfit inspiration and tutorials, and keep up with her on Facebook and Twitter as well!
** $35 gift certificate to Aunt Peg's Jewelry (or towards a custom jewelry order) **
Do you love unique jewelry? And those interchangeable watch bands that are all the rage? Well, if you do, then Aunt Peg's Jewelry is the place for you!
I'm such a plain Jane, but I love this Silver and Gray watch band; it would go with everything!

And perhaps a Silver Rose ring to go with it?

If you want, you can keep up with Aunt Peg's Jewelry with their blog or on Facebook! Goodness everywhere!
** $25 gift certificate to Belle Rose Designs **
This fabulous etsy shop has things for brides, babies, books, and more!
These heart onesies have always been one of my very favorite things! So sweet!

I'm a total book worm, and I haven't jumped on the e-reader bandwagon yet. It would make me pretty happy to see one of these beautiful rosette bookmarks keeping my place.

You can also keep up with Julie on her blog, Singing Three Little Birds, for tutorials, features, and inspiration, and on Facebook, too!
** Cookbook and Apron from Aunt Peg's Recipe Box **
Yep, that is the same talent that's behind Aunt Peg's Jewelry. Holy amazing multi tasking awesomeness, right?
This apron is from Not Your Grandma's Apron. Don't you just want to go cook something so you can wear it?

And this cookbook is sure to be filled with lots of delicious recipes.

Maybe this recipe for the cheesey spinach scramble is in there?
Don't these Hawaii Melt in your Mouth shortbread cookies look tasty? I'd kind of like one (or ten) right now. (Hey, baby wants them! Who am I to say no?)
** Nursing cover from Smashed Peas and Carrots **
If you aren't following Maggie over at Smashed Peas and Carrots, they you are missing out! Maggie and I have been email buddies for awhile now, and she is honestly one of the sweetest, nicest, most real people ever! You will fall in love with her, her cute kids, and her amazing talents!
Maggie has a shop that specializes in adorable items for mamas and children. I absolutely love the fabric for this dress!

And if I was having twins, you can bet this would be on my list!

Maggie is offering up this stylish nursing cover to one of you! Isn't it fantastic?

You can also keep up with the adorable Maggie on her blog, Facebook, and Twitter. You won't be sorry that you did!
So, are you sufficiently encouraged to enter this giveaway?
There is some amazing stuff up for grabs!
It's worth....well, let's just say, it's worth a lot. I wasn't good at math before I started having kids, and now that I'm pregnant with baby #3, I'd say that has earned me the right to take a pass on figuring out tough (or not so tough) stuff.
We're going to keep this simple, though!
All you have to do is leave a comment here telling me if you are voting boy or girl!
Easy, right?
If you want an extra entry, leave a separate comment with a name suggestion to go with your gender choice.
After I find out what this precious little babe of ours is, I'll draw winners from those who guessed right - one winner for each giveaway!
There are nine giveaways, so there will be nine winners. (Yeah, I know. Counting is kind of like math.)
Good luck, and thanks for partying with me during this exciting time for our family!








I am going to hope you have a boy. I have two girls myself and don't plan on having anymore for health reasons. I know I would really have loved the chance to have a boy too. Good luck with whatever it is!
ReplyDeleteI love the name Carter Joseph for a little boy!
ReplyDeleteI'm going with girl. Nothing wrong with boys (I have 3 myself!) :) but I am feeling girl.

ReplyDeleteExciting! I'll guess a boy, since it seems like everybody I know (and myself included) is having a boy this year.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to suggest a name when we haven't even decided on one yet for our little guy who's due in six weeks! One of our top choices is Logan though, so I'll go with that.
ReplyDeleteI am going to say BOY
ReplyDelete... because I love having both a boy and a girl and would LOVE for you to have that too! although 3 sisters would be fun...a boy with 2 older sisters is going to make a great husband someday! : )

ReplyDeleteIf you are wanting to stay with "R" names like your girls I like Rider, Rowan, or Ryker!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing boy!
ReplyDeleteI vote boy!!!
ReplyDeleteSticking to the "R" theme. I think you should name him Reed or Roland. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you are going to have another girl-though I hope you have a boy! Hey if you do have another girl, we can just swap-I've got lots of boys! :)
ReplyDeleteLove ya!
I'm voting boy!
ReplyDeleteI was convinced my first two were girls and they were boys, but I just KNEW that my last was a girl, and I was right! (Sometimes our timing can be off!)
I'd say name him Keagan, because it means fiery, and with 2 older sisters he'll have to be fiery to stick up for himself!
ReplyDeleteI think you should name her...Renesmee. j/k. :)
ReplyDeleteBut what about Rhoda-there's a little girl in your mom's ward named Rhoda and she is adorable! Are you going to stick with all R names or did it just happen with the first 2? If I was going to have a girl her name would be Maggie Loraine (Loraine is Chad's mom's middle name). I can't wait to find out what you're having! YAY!
I vote boy!
ReplyDeleteI'm voting boy! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteMy name suggestion is Hogan. That's what I wanted to name another boy if I have one.
ReplyDeleteSince I voted boy I like the name Cason
ReplyDeleteI'm feelin' girl vibes (probably because I have several pregnant friends who are all expecting their 3rd of the same gender). At least you'd already have all the clothes, right?
ReplyDeleteKayla
Freckles in April
As for names, if you're busting out of the R mold I love the name Payton (I have a super stylish friend who named her daughter Payton and it totally sold me). If you're sticking with Rs I say Rory. Reese, Remi and Rory. Totally fits :)
ReplyDeleteKayla

ReplyDeleteI would say a boy! I have 2 daughters as well and I secretly hope to have another baby someday and I secretly hope it will be a boy. Its just a whole nother experience that I would love to have! <3
ReplyDeleteI think you're going to have a girl, simply because you said you thought it would be a boy and you thought your girls were going to be boys. Either way, I hope it will be healthy and wonderful.
