Babies abound! In the last month, 4 have been born, and in the last week, I've learned of 4 new pregnancies. My friend has a particularly happy blog over at A Nest Near the Alter. You should read it. To quote Cold Tangerines "It makes sense to me in a new way that God chose to wrap his divinity in baby bones and baby skin. I always thought maybe it was to demonstrate vulnerability, or to identify fully with each phase of humanity, but now I think it was something else. I think it was because babies make up believe in the possibility and the power of the future. It's genius that the Christ, the Messiah, came as a baby, not because of his helplessness, but because of the possibility every baby holds."
