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?
