***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!

All the best!

I am guessing May 22. Sorry, I know it’s overdue but many 1st babies like to cook a little longer.
Sarah b says
Gotta go with May 25th. One of my best and dearest friends was born on that day!
I love everything at West Elm. Right now we’re looking to update our bedroom, and I love the Organic Fossil Duvet Cover!

Charise says
May 22!
Melissa H says
I’m going to guess May 22, it’s never fun to hear that someone thinks you’re going to go over (I know! I’m due in 2 days!) so sorry to not have hopeful feelings of an early delivery but best of luck either way!
Jessi @ The Design Slice says
Since my birthday is the 18th, I’m guessing that day…even though I was originally due on the 5th and was two weeks late myself…hmmm.
Karlee says
My guess is May 22nd! Best of luck!!
And I love absolutely everything at West Elm, esp the Patch NYC ceramic plates!
kristen says
I’m going to guess the day before your due date, May 18th. I was so sad to see my due date come and go when I was pregnant with my daughter. I had to be induced 11 days later and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. In my case it was meant to be because her birthday was the 12th anniversary of my first date with my hubby and it was also on the 18th (of October though). Good luck!
ps, I would definitely love to see that daybed on my porch. I love yours.
Jenine says
May 22! No reason other than the 22nd is a common date in our household. Good luck guys!
Amy says
I’m going to guess… the 21st!
Steph says
May 26th!!! Baby!
liz says

jessiob says
May 27th! (Sorry Sherry)
sarah says
May 16. Love the belly! And jealous of your daybed!
Lara says
May 22 is my big guess. This is a fun game. :) I am not a mother, so I have only the experience of my older sis to go off. She was late.
Y’all enjoy your baby-free freedom, okay? Do something crazy that you won’t be able to once the beannette is here.
For the West Elm object of oogling, I pick the Andalusia Rug.
Lauren says
May 25
Karie says
May 19th! Because that’s my birthday too!
Megan S says
May 17th! No matter when she arrives she’ll always be your favorite Mother’s Day gift! Congrats!
P.S. I can’t pick just one item… I love em’ all!

Jen says
May 21!
kelsi says
what a cute idea!! i’m guessing May 25 (not because i want you to be late, but because that’s the day that my little man was born… November 25. just a lucky number to me!)
good luck with L&D! can’t wait to hear the labor story & see her pic! also, i know this is weird but if you have any questions about boobin’ it, let me know. i had mistitis and he got thrush, in addition to a horrible latch. but i did it for 16 months! so if you need any encouragement let me know :)
