Mint Sauce

Well, I wouldn't have believed it if I had simply been told - all the baby books talk about it as being "normal", and certainly we had experienced a range of examples that all fit the bill, except for this one.

What am I talking about? Poo, and poo colour. Mostly, the bub has been producing stuff that varies from english mustard to mashed pumpkin, with occasional stylistic references to just a hint of lime. That is, until tonight.

This evening we were greeted with the crowning achievement of baby poo, spoken of in hushed tones and revered in maternal circles the world over - we got green! Most of the respected baby texts indicate that this is completely normal, and that the poo could be anything from yellow to orange to lettuce green. Well, that's what we got - something that looked like a nappy which had been filled with mint sauce.

My work as a parent is complete. Any more colours and the bub could get a job working for Pantone...

LOL !

Green eh? Strained peas?

My wife thought she had anal cancer when she was 16 and had to go to the doctor because of all the blood that was coming out. Turns out her habit of eating a can of beetroot a day coloured matters.
 
Can you spell "oversharing"?
 
I can.
 
If you had read something like this BEFORE you decided to have a baby, would you have felt less or more like procreating in the future? :P
 
It's all just a part of the rich tapestry of life...
 
Or perhaps the next 'Blue Poles'...
 
Heh, I suspect the missus would not appreciate me taking a picture of it...
