At church Sunday, the sermon was focused on the concept of new birth. The pastor talked about Nicodemus, spiritual birth and infant birth. We had the honor of having some of our items, including two photos of our beautiful Westley James, as part of an altar vignette:
The photo at far left is from his first photo shoot in the hospital. The photo on the right is one of my sonogram photos taken midway through my pregnancy. There's also the baby Bible we bring to church with us most weeks for him to look at during the service, a Tiger rattle from his Classic Pooh-themed nursery and a pair of green and yellow crocheted booties, which my maternal grandfather's sister made and gave to my mom when I was born. The blue baby blanket is one of his treasures, too.
As with many services, we spent part of that one in the cry room. It's a peaceful space and a place we can worship together as a family without worrying about interrupting the peace in the sanctuary:
