***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!

Alison says
May 14th, under budget and ahead of schedule ; )

I’m going to guess that ‘Bean’ aka ‘Baby P’ is pretty cozy in your womb, Sherry, so my guess it she’ll be fashionably late with her arrival to Casa Petersik. ;)
Although it’s not available until 6/21/10 I’ve been eyeballing West Elm’s Dot Coffe table. It’s quite charming.
Best of Luck!

Love the round CoCo Mirror at West Elm!
Laura D says
May 21st… not that I would wish a late baby on anyone, but, you know, it is how these things go sometimes…
Stephanie Fantasia says
I am going to just be crazy and say May 4th. I know it’s your first baby and everyone says first timers never go early, but whatever. That is my baby girl’s birthday (soon to be one – awwwww) and I went three weeks early with my first, second, AND third babies, so that just shows what they know. (Not induced, by the way. They were just impatient, I guess – haha)
:o)
You are so cute pregnant – love the bump!!! I would love ANYTHING from West Elm. But if I had to choose a specific item, a chandelier.
