***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!

May 19th! And you look FANTASTIC!
We are currently loving our new West Elm organic matelasse bedding in Stone White. Their designers are geniuses–it shrank in the wash to become the perfect size for the bed–no uncute shrinkage here!
Amanda says
May 21st :)
Allison says
May 18 is my guess. Good luck for the big day!
Lately I’ve been loving West Elm accessories…like the flower tea lights, the boot umbrella stand, the large atlantis clam shell and the white moose head…I want our new apartment to be happy and clean and West Elm does happy and clean well.
Stephanie says
May 26! The picture frames get me every time!
Melissa says
Hmmm. I think the baby will be born May 25th. My due date was May 22 and I didn’t show up til June 4.
Kim says
Sorry Sherry, I’m going late…and guessing May 31. I’ve got my eye on that daybed, and the $100 would help :) But then again, if I’m wrong, and your baby comes (much) earlier, I’ll be happy for you guys for not having to wait.
Susanna says
May 27th. Good luck!

May 25 — only because my guy was 6 days “late” — 11 years ago. :-)
Allison says
May 17th. I love that slipcovered chair! Best wishes!
Wendy says
May 21st – because my little guy came 2 days late too!!! Best wishes for a speedy and healthy delivery!
For some reason I thought you already had the baby because of a twitter post about a middle of the night leaking toilet, crying baby???? Was that just a dream? LOL!!
Eryn Chandler says
Sherry is gorgeous and glowing, as always. Love the springy dress!

My absolute favorite West Elm item right now is the Organic Cotton Pin-Tuck Duvet Cover + Shams in Sea Spray. Not only is it beautiful, but it’s durable enough to survive pet mishaps. No details needed. :-)
