I was able to construct a side reinforcing piece to add to the bassinet today, using some heavy fabric left over from a tripod bag, and a sewing machine helpfully loaned by T's mom. I was actually surprised that I managed to thread it without referring to instructions. My sewing job wasn't so neat that I was inspired to take a photo, though, so no illustration for today. In other news, there is no other news. But all the preparations are done now, so there's no point in waiting to come out... hey in there, yes, I'm talking to you...
ADDENDUM: apparently this worked. Labor started 3 hours after I made this post and she was born later that day.

Bit of advice dredged from my own waiting-for-baby days: her fingernails are growing. Seriously. When they're overdue they come out looking like they're ready for nailpolish. Bring clippers. :-)
Further to lovingmy40s comment, our hospital did not provide clippers due to liability reasons. BYOC (Bring your own clippers) :)
The nurse recommended to us not to clip the nails until a few weeks later because the tiny fingers are so delicate; use mittens to prevent scratching. However she did say you could actually put them against your teeth and nibble slightly on the finger to trim the nail, since they were so fragile. It seemed an unusual idea, which we have not tried.
