BONUS Fab Freebie: The YHL Baby Pool!

***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):

West Elm Board

  1. The Patch NYC Flax Butterfly Pillow
  2. The Flower-Dot Upholstered Slipper Chair
  3. The Safari Rug
  4. The Bone Side Table
  5. The Overlapping Squares Daybed (which we’ve enjoyed since 2007 in our sunroom)
  6. The Platinum Dhurrie Pouf
  7. The Parson’s Desk (which we’ve used in our corner-of-the-den office for years)
  8. The Jute Cube
  9. The Large Crushed Eggshell Box
  10. 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!

    May 26. I know you’re probably hoping it’s earlier, but I know a log of first time moms that have gone a week past their due date.

    May 24th!

    (my birthday as well – yay Geminis!!!)

    I am in love with West Elm’s Natural Tree Stump Side Table. I got it for free (!) from work and love how it brings a nice contemporary/organic flare to my apartment.

    I am predicting May 22nd. First timers (usually) always come after the official due date, just don’t want the Mrs. waiting too long! I’ll take the number 7, please! AKA, parsons desk! Best wishes for a safe and EASY delivery!

    You look great Sherri and will be glad you have the photo to prove it! A year down the road you’ll wonder how you walked with that baby bump so it’ll be fun to look back.

    My son was also due on May 19th. I had him on May 24th after being induced, so that’s the date I’m entering into the baby pool. Good luck! Labor isn’t nearly as bad as you can get worked up thinking about.

    Under the concil of some people with experience, I’m guessing May 21st. Whenever it is, I’m so excited for you! I’m sure she’ll LOVE the beautiful space you’ve made for her!

    And I love all of the West Elm products you posted, especially that Bone side table!

    Thanks!

    May 24th! Here’s to a quick, painless-as-possible delivery, a healthy Baby P who decides to come on her own instead of needing to be induced, and a healthy Sherry!

    May 17th! I feel like she’ll be just a tad bit early, though my stepdad’s birthday is her due date!

    SO SOON!

    I’m going to guess May 26th. Best of luck for a smooth labor and delivery and safe bean, whenever, though.

    I’m going with May 23rd…
    This is actually my due date, but am having a c-section on your due date, May 19th. Welcome to parenthood — one of the most dramatic and exciting “Before and Afters” ever!
