Is this normal on vanco?

Hi guys,
I am new here (29/male) and have been diagnosed with C. Diff recently.
It all started when my wife gave birth at the end of october and she was diagnosed with C.diff right after taking an antibiotic. 2 weeks later, I started to lose appetite and had 2x watery D in one night. My wife took no chance and asked our doctor to test me. Unfortunately, the test came back positive. I was given a 10 day vanco regime and everything seemed fine until today (8 days later). Since I took vanco, my BMs were all fine(soft and no D) but suddenly today, I had at least 5 watery D.
I would like to know if it is normal to suddenly have watery D while on vanco. I only have 2 days left of vanco and I have to go back to work next week. I am very worried.
Are there any precautions I have to take for my newborn and for my family given how me and my wife both have c.diff? She unfortunately relapsed 3 days after her first round of vanco and she is currently on a 6 weeks vanco tamper.
Thanks.
