don't know sh*t

It's day three of Q's flu.  I called the pediatrician to make an appointment.  She thinks he'll be fine but during her questioning I couldn't think of the word for 'poop'.  She'd asked how his diapers were and I said we'd changed some wet ones but there wasn't any...and I didn't know what to say.  All I could think of was "shit", but that wouldn't make me sound like a good parent.  I didn't want to say "number 2" or "twosie".  I wanted to sound as smart as possible so the doctor would stop talking to me like a child.   But what is the medical term, the doctor lingo for poop?  She's a pediatrician so she might use "poopy".  The phrase "fecal matter" didn't come to mind, but I did think up "fecally".  My sentence was, "he hasn't been fecally." I thought it but didn't say it.  I exited the long pause with, "just wet." 

I hung up and it hit me—"Bowel Movement!" I shouted.

Don't feel bad. Happens to the best of us. I usually say "dirty diaper" or B.M.
