What Comes First, the Squash or Blooms?

I have squash plants that are blooming but there are not any squash behind the blooms. I wanted to know if I was supposed to be seeing the squash behind the bloom or will the blooms fall off and the squash begin to grow then?

Squash plants always produce male flowers first, female (with the fruit behind) will come in later. This article will help:
