Being a parent is so glamorous

in September 2011 Moms

Well, after another episode of vomiting at 3:30am this morning I called B's pediatrician and he ordered a stool sample. I go in to the lab to pick up the required collection material...OMG. There are two separate vials, one of which has liquid and what the lab tech referred to as a "spoon". I have to fill the vial with her stool until the liquid gets to a certain point and I've been told if I fill it too high I have to do it again. The specimen then goes in the fridge until the lab is open and I bring it in on ice.

I'm going to have poo in my fridge Ick!.

    Wow, that is pretty dang...glamorous. I hope you don't have poop in the fridge for too long.

    These are the anecdotes they need to relay to teenagers who want to have babies because "they're cute".

    That STINKS!

    I have only had to do urine samples with my kids, and those were no fun, so I can imagine!

    Ugh, we had stomach flu last week and a cold this week.  I could really go a week without diarrhea, vomiting, snot, and phlegm.  Yuck!  Oh, and poor baby too!<img src="https://community.thebump.com/cs/emoticons/emotion-10.gif" alt="Embarrass
