Yesterday my wife and I went to the Baby Market, claimed to be the biggest baby fair in South East Asia, at Expo Hall 5. We went there to collect our pre-order items: a UV sterilizer, a swaddle blanket, and a play mat. But of course we also did some shopping at the Expo itself such as Hana Baby Wrap that works as a carrier from a carefully designed cloth.
It reminds me that we are in the process of becoming a parent. Last Friday we got to know that our child would be a girl and it was just nice for having the chance to go baby fair with knowing what color to choose. We also started to buy some baby girl shoes at the fair.
Two things impress me: the life itself and the innovation of the baby products. Last Friday I get to hear for the first time the heartbeat of my child. As I have heard a baby’s heartbeat from youtube, it is really faster than adult’s heartbeat. Although I can’t differentiate my baby’s heartbeat from the one in youtube, it was still nice to listen live knowing that there is a life inside my wife’s womb. There were also many babies in the clinic and it just feels different. Yesterday at baby fair was another environment with many pregnant ladies and kids.
As for the baby products, human is really creative in problem solving. There were stroller that the way it was folded was interesting, a baby cot with 7 different heights and able to be removed without using screwdriver, a baby bathtub that can be opened in the bottom to let the water out, and the list goes on. It reminds me of the calls for innovation. To listen and to be observant on the needs and to respond to it accordingly.
With those two, though, I often detach them from the presence of God. I forget that there is a Creator behind all those. There is a God who is so great and yet so loving that He cares for us.
