***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 am going with May 11. Because with my first I went 8 days early so that would put you there too, and it’s always nice to go early! (I know dumb reason) Good Luck

Christine aka The Stampin' Ninja says
I’m gonna go with May 26th! It’s not that I want to wish upon you an extra week in your pregnancy Sherry (‘cuz believe me, I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone! At that point you’re just beyond excited and want to meet the little one RIGHT NOW!) but I was a week late with both of mine so it’s all I know!
And yes, you are SO super cute pregnant! 35lbs?! I would have never guessed! No worries though, you’ll get your shape back soon enough. And when you’re looking in the mirror months from now and maybe feeling not so hot (like we all do from time to time) and thinking, “I didn’t look like this before…” remind yourself that you weren’t a Mommy before. I swear, it will make everything ok… :0)
