***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 to say Baby P is going to be punctual! She’ll be right on time on May 19th!! Here’s hoping you have a relatively pain free labor. Well, that or at least lots of drugs to get you through!

Stephanie says
I’m a labor and delivery nurse and it’s my experience that first babies tend to go over due unless induced. Mmm. So, I’m going to guess May22nd. It’s my godson’s b-day and also the day my husband and I got engaged 11 years ago. :) Best wishes!!

Joanna says
May 12th (I will never be able to guess a due date later than the predicted one now that I’ve been there … it’s just too cruel to hope that a pregnant lady goes past her due date!)
Emily says
May 17th! I’m due on July 31st and my husband and I are working on totally redoing our new home, so I love reading all about your progress.
And to toss it in, I’m currently obsessed with West Elm’s Leather Grid-Tufted Headboard. It would require a redo of all bedroom furniture for the look to work, but I’m trying to figure out a way to get it done! Love it that much!!
Good luck to you!
tabby says
May 13th– i know it’s early, but it’s my son’s birthday and that day (in 2001) he made me a mom on mother’s day– so i consider the 13 a very lucky number :D
Michele Daggar says
I’m going to guess May 23. Although my son (my first) was born one day after his due date and my daughter was born on her due date. Who knows what baby Petersik will do! Good luck.
annie says
