***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 predict that the big day will be May 9th. That is my birthday and also Mother’s Day and I can’t think of a more perfect gift on Mother’s Day than a brand new baby!!
I just clicked over to West Elm and I’m loving the short drum pendant….although I wish it was available in white.
Meg says
Hmmm…hard to pick but for some reason I’m thinking May 14th. Hope all goes well with labor and delivery! Can’t wait to see photos of your sweet little girl!

Sherry is so organized, I’m certain she’ll start working on baby P on the 19th, but the “beanette” will arrive in the wee hours morning hours of May 20th.
Also, can I just say, Sherry looks freaking fabulous! Good luck with everything, you two.

I’m going with May 20th – Sherry you look great! I know you’re probably anixiously awaiting the arrival of this little person. I can’t wait to see pictures and hear the name – I think it’s great that you are keeping it under wraps until she arrives.
As far as West Elm goes, I love everything you posted above – now I’m off to check out their website!
