***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!

My guess is May 27th (It’s a full moon.) – the other close full moon is tonight, so I might end up kicking myself. My daughter was born three weeks early on a full moon.
I have never shopped at West Elm (the closest one is 2 hours away) but I have wanted to and this would give me a good excuse!
Addie Parker says
May 20! Here’s hoping. :)
Amy @ Designing A Life I Love says
I believe it’ll be May 20th. I’m sure I’m, like, the bazillionth person to say this, but you look AMAZING!! I’m really into all rugs by West Elm, simply because I’m in the market for one. That $100 gift certificate sure would come in handy!!
Benita says
May 20!
My current favorite West Elm item is that daybed you have! I’m still saving for it, but I think it would be perfect for my small second bedroom/office.

I don’t want to enter the contest, I just have got to tell you that you look so, SO beautiful. When I was as many weeks in as you are now, I looked like a troll. I kid you not! Even my mom says so, hahahaha. But it was worth it because I had the easiest 4-hour labor ever. Good luck you two!!
Christie says
I am going to guess May 19th!
Alecia says
