Why did I feel so unprepared even when everything was done?

did anyone else feel like the closer the due date got the less prepared they felt?

it's weird because technically i was getting more things done every week

buying baby stuff

washing clothes

getting the house ready

going to appointments

but somehow my brain kept telling me i was forgetting something important

i'd be sitting on the couch and suddenly think

"wait... is there something i'm supposed to be doing right now?"

i don't even think it was about being organized

i think it was the feeling that life was about to change so much and i wanted everything to be perfect before baby arrived

looking back i don't think i would've ever felt 100% ready no matter how many lists i made

was anyone else like this near the end?
