It's apparent you're a parent when...

...you're collecting diarrhea samples out of a saran wrap diaper.

Caden may have E coli.  Anyone know how you collect watery/mucusy/bloody baby poop?  I was told to get saran wrap and line the inside of his diaper with it so none of it would be absorbed.

Then I had to pour/scrape the content into this grey container (while trying not to get it EVERYWHERE).  I then filled the containers and kept them in the refrigerator (Ick!!) until I was ready to take it up to the lab.  It's a messy and disgusting process with a baby that is crawling all over the house.  At least if I ever have to do it again I should be a little more efficient.  We should know the results of the culture in about 3 days. 
Why, oh WHY did I not let Cody stay at home with Caden today?
