Is it normal to feel this unprepared at 34 weeks?

I'm 34 weeks with my first and I keep reading that I should feel ready by now. I have the car seat installed and that's about it. Everyone keeps asking if the nursery is done and I don't even have a changing pad. Did anyone else get to the end and still feel like this?

Okay this genuinely helped. I think I've been letting the questions get to me more than the actual to-do list.

I had a changing pad and a half-painted wall when my first arrived. She's two and she's fine. The nursery is for us, not them.

You're not unprepared, you're 34 weeks. The baby needs somewhere to sleep, something to eat, and diapers. Everything else you can order at 2am from your phone, which is exactly what I did.
