Poopy post

Some of you may know, Saboodlette had a poop issue – following a small fissure she refused to poop. She got an X-Ray done, her bowel washed, got treated for constipation although she wasn’t constipated, poor thing. Luckily I finally found a doctor who isn’t above listening to parents and talking to babies, even buttoning them up after the (gentle) examination. Saboodlette liked him so we keep him despite our (useless BUPA) insurance not covering it. Well, she ended up on glycerine every four days. Since nothing was happening (apart a huge but perfect glycerine induced poop every four days) I was going to schedule another visit sometime next week. And today I decided to hold off the glycerine until the evening. And… after much stinky gas and fussing, the huge, four day stool came on its own. We’re all relieved.
Other random things.
1. A friend has just gave birth to the sweetest babygirl. It was only after seeing the newborn that I realised how much Saboodlette has grown – I was convinced until now that she’s just the way she was at birth, regardless of whatever the weight and mesuring tape would say.
2. I figured out a way of mincing meat without a special, big, difficult to clean machine. I love my 8 years old Braun mixer. We can now enjoy all the bolognese and kebabs we want. We don’t like buying already minced meat so this is sooo cool.
3. I had a brainwave yesterday, an idea for a business here. What Dubai needs is a baby friendly spa or Mother and Baby Spa. Where you could go with your baby, first a tandem massage treatment and then get a pedi while feeding the little monkey. And no, someone coming to your home is not the same, not even close. A home with a baby and no maid is as far away from a spa as possible, unfortunately…
