Day 3 with a newborn. The crib you spent two hours assembling? Holding clothes you haven't put away. The baby sleeps in the bassinet next to your bed. The carefully organized nursery is already a mess.
Priorities shift fast when the baby arrives. That's fine. All you really need on day 1 is a car seat, a bassinet, some 0-3 month clothes, and diapers. The rest is nice to have.
