***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 going with May 8th — got a good feeling. Plus, everyone I know who’s recently had a baby has gone early, so maybe it’s the in thing to do! Regardless, here’s wishing you a safe and smooth delivery.
And, for the record, you’re such a cute little pregnant woman!!

I am hoping selfishly that the baby comes on my birthday May 26th which I like to say is the best day of the year. I also celebrate all month long and say it’s my birthday month. We do it at our house for our kids too and they seem to enjoy it. Best wishes! You’re going to have the best time ever! Babies are the BEST!!
And, that mirror is pretty rockin!

Hubs and I are in the process of buying a condo, so I could pretty much find 100 things I’d buy for the new place from West Elm!!
Kinzie Sue says
I’ll guess May 20th. I was a day late with my first, plus the 20th is my amazing sister’s birthday- a good day to be born I guess. Hope all goes well with D-day and wishing you the best of luck!! [Oh, and as far as what I’m loving these days at West Elm… everything. No but really I LOVE the Round Coco Mirror and the Modular Coffee Table- PERFECTION!)
