Ignorance is bliss - Pt. 2
Slow down… smell the roses. I cannot stress that enough.
Earlier, in Ignorance Is Bliss - Pt. 1, I spoke about how not knowing the sex of our baby benefited me. I’d like to quickly share another side to this.. and that is how it benefited us.
Kelsey and I really had a blast throughout this pregnancy. Not knowing, which led to being present, allowed us to slow down and mold moments into memories. We intentionally pushed ourselves to experience together. It feels as if we’ve created more memories in these last 9 months than any 9 month chunk beforehand. It’s something I hope to continue as parents.
It’s wild.. how much one decision can affect an entire experience. You really don’t know how much you miss out on, until you make the time to take your time.
So whether you’re reading this on a phone or monitor, stop.. look around. I encourage you to be present. Be intentional with your time. What’s happening? Who is around you? What are they doing? Are you making memories? Or are you missing out? Please don’t.
I promise you won’t regret it.
