***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 say may 22nd! since it’s your first, you will probably be a few days late :)

Cheri says
May 27! First babies usually go about a week late. I’m loving that Coco Mirror–just was eying it up today, in fact.
Sherry, you look awesome!

So exciting!
I’ll guess May 17th, since my baby boy arrived two days before his due date 3 years ago. :)
carrie says
My guess is May 10th! Good Luck!!!
malibou says
13 May :-)
I have asked for the Coco Mirror for Mother’s Day, but maybe I will hold out a bit now.
Lisa P says
May 24 is my guess!
Sarah says
First off, you look fantastic! You do not look like someone who is 37 weeks pregnant.
Second, I’m going to guess May 24th. Sorry, but as a fellow mommy to be, I’ve done a lot of reading that says that first time moms go past their due date.
Third, best of luck to you and baby Bean as you welcome her into this world! Yay!
Karen says
For some reason May 21st is sounding good to me so that’s my guess! I know whenever it arrives it will be a very loved baby!

Katy says
I am guessing May 28. These days, I am way into ottomons. Ottomi? Anyway, I will buy some with the gift card when I hopefully win the pool!!
Vonda says
I’m going w/May 20, combining that fact that you’re so organized I think even the Beanette will stay on track, but taking into account most firsts are late!
AND AN FYI: if you slip past your due date and are ready, try heading over to Mama Zu’s for their Eggplant Parma. It’s worked for most of my girlfriends!! (And portions are so large y’all could split it.)
Tracy says
