POOP Soup!!

Ok, I have to blog about this. Let me start by saying this is a first for our family. Yesterday night Eric was giving Reagan her bath. I usually sit in the bathroom with them but I had gone in the other room to brush my teeth. I hear Eric laughing and he says "it's so funny, she's gassy and is making lots of bubbles!" So I walk back into the bathroom just in time to see Reagan's face get all red and for Eric to say "Uh-oh, she's pooping!" And sure enough, that's exactly what she was doing. So...ok...there's definitely no stopping this once it has started and I thought to myself "ok well better out than in". So at this point Eric has moved the baby to the other side of the tub. Why we didn't take her OUT of the tub is still beyond me! Well I thought that scooping this little poopy out was going to be no big deal. Um WRONG! I initially try to scoop it out with a baby wipe and it proceeds to crumble to pieces. GREAT! Now it's in little bits all over the place and Reagan starts kicking and swirling it about. Yep, she's STILL IN THE TUB! So I have Eric take her out but she has crap (haha) on her but he wraps her in her towel anyway. I guess I don't really know what I wanted him to do, maybe hold her in the air above the tub??? Ok, so I try to get the poop out again but this time I tackle it with paper towels. Let me just say that trying to chase poop around a bathtub with a paper towel is a BAD idea. The force of the water being pushed in front of the paper towel just pushed the poop away, further stirring the feces and ultimately resulting in Poop Soup. At this point I am so freaked out and disgusted that I am gagging like a pregnant girl brushing her teeth. I finally resort to just draining the tub and letting all the poop go down the drain. What else is there to do??? I still don't know how else I should have handled it. So I have to frantically rinse out the tub and then Lysol wipe it down so that I can stick the baby back in it and rinse the feces off of her since she was practically swimming in it. My little poop baby. She was none too happy about having to be rinsed off again and then re-dried. Not to mention that I have to sanitize all the toys that she had in there with her. Ugh! I've often wondered if this was ever going to happen and now it has. We've been inducted into the poop tub club. I can't say that I'm happy about it but it does make for a pretty funny story. Just thought I'd share.......
