More pictures of Matthew

Mother and child are now home from the hospital. Little Matthew passed all of his tests with flying colors! Here are some more pictures taken today:

Matthew has a bit of a rash. It's already almost cleared up, though.

Time to rest. It's been a whirlwind for three days.

something I forget to mention, be sure to watch out for thrush (in baby) and/or yeast on the nipples (in mom) from the antibiotics given in labor. Since the routine use for Group B strep started a few years ago, we have seen a virtual epidemic of yeast causing breastfeeding problems.
BTW - in my practice, if the mom got two doses of antibiotics prior to birth, we don't make her or the baby stay the full 48 hours. It is offered as an option. Also we don't routinely do the blood cultures, only on babies whose moms didn't have a long enough labor to get treated.

Hello Lugardo family! Congratulations! We are so happy for you. Wait to go Jenny - I'm glad you were able to have a natural child birth. All the pain, discomfort, and fatigue is definitely worth it in the long run.

Make sure to get rest when you can and take good care of each other. I hope we get to meet Matthew when we come back to C-U to visit.

in Christ,
The Kreps (Chris, Britta and Grace)
