***Clara’s here! So this baby pool is officially closed***
Sherry’s officially three weeks from her due date (May 19th) so we thought it was about time we started a fun little baby pool around here. And like any traditional baby pool, we’re taking guesses about when the beanette will be arriving…
But our little YHL twist is that this baby pool comes with a special home decor-tastic prize: an $100 gift card to West Elm! We realize it’s not a particularly baby-themed freebie, but we wanted everyone (with or without a bean) to be excited to play. And needless to say we were beyond thrilled when the kind folks at West Elm offered up an amazingly generous gift card to one lucky reader. We couldn’t love their stuff more. Seriously.
Just check out some of their merch that we’re ogling at the moment (and a few things that you may recognize because they already live here at Casa Petersik):
- The Patch NYC Flax Butterfly Pillow
- The Flower-Dot Upholstered Slipper Chair
- The Safari Rug
- The Bone Side Table
- The Overlapping Squares Daybed (which we’ve enjoyed since 2007 in our sunroom)
- The Platinum Dhurrie Pouf
- The Parson’s Desk (which we’ve used in our corner-of-the-den office for years)
- The Jute Cube
- The Large Crushed Eggshell Box
- The Round Coco Mirror
So here’s how it’s gonna work:
- Comment on this post with the DATE that you think our baby girl will arrive. No need to guess times or weights (well you can but we won’t be judging those). And for fun feel free to toss out your favorite West Elm item these days.
- We’ll leave the pool open for guesses until we announce Baby P’s arrival, so guess now or take your chances waiting (bearing in mind that we won’t be disclosing the exact moment she’s born, so you do risk losing if you hold out too long).
- Once we’ve recuperated after D-Day (delivery day), we’ll use random.org to select ONE RANDOM WINNER out of everyone who guessed the right date.
- The prize (aka: a $100 gift card to West Elm) is available to everyone in the USA. And, as usual, only one entry per email address is permitted.
Have fun with your predictions everyone – at this point your guesses are as good as ours!

I’m in London so not eligible for the prize, but just for fun I’ll guess the 19th. I think baby P might already be a bit like her parents and want to be on time. Oh no, maybe she’ll be early instead.
Also just wanted to say what a smokin’ mama Sherry is looking in that dress. Gorgeous!
Anette says
I’m guessing May 23rd

Milady Griffin says
May 23rd! (Hope I’m wrong for her sake, but the first ones do tend to come a bit late! Mine was 8 days late. Just think of them as extra days to store up the sleep you won’t be getting!)
I love the Patch NYC pillows at West Elm. I’m craving some nice graphic pillows to boost my living room’s morale.
Kelly K. says

I’m going with May 24th. My first baby was due on May 22nd but didn’t arrive till Memorial Day (May 30th that year), a whole 8 days late. Those were the longest 8 days of my life. I wouldn’t wish that on Sherry, but how about 5 days late? You know, Monday’s child is fair of face.
Katie says
I’m going with May 26th! My due date was August 19 and my daughter didn’t come til August 26. I hope Sherry has better luck than I did!
