oh baby giveaway

So, I have a little announcement to make on 2 Sisters 2 Cities today…I’m having another baby! And to celebrate, we are hosting a $25 Amazon Gift Card giveaway over the course of the next week! Just enter through the Wafflecopter widget below and leave a comment with your guess as to whether I’m having a boy or girl. There is also a chance to earn bonus entries by following 2S2C on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, RSS, and/or e-mail. A winner will be picked at random so you don’t have to guess correctly, but it will be fun to see which way the votes sway! We’ll be finding out the baby’s gender next Thursday and I’ll be doing a special baking-related gender reveal at that point.

Some data points to assist with your baby gender guess:

My two-year old son, Baby T, is a boy.
I’m one of four girls. My husband is an only child.
The Chinese gender calendar predicts girl.
My main pregnancy craving has been ice cream (thank goodness for the new ice cream maker K got my for Christmas!) My last pregnancy, I craved salty snacks.
My intuition says it’s going to be a boy.

My due date is in late June which puts me in pretty much the same pregnancy timeline as Kate Middleton, Jessica Simpson, and now Kim Kardashian. I think it would be really fun for my baby to share the same birthdate as the royal baby (and not so much with the latter two!)

I can’t wait to see what everyone guesses!

Collection of 6 Mara-Mi Oscar Wilde Bottle tags

These items have a combined retail value of approximately $50. Good luck!
