Although this post is titled "Lila and Baby Jude," Lila still refers to herself as "Baby Lila." That's the way she introduced herself to her new brother. : )

Recovery is better each day, and we're all trying to get used to an extra person in the family. The first few weeks with a newborn are so hard with lack of sleep and soreness from a c-section. But time will soon pass and Tad is a huge help at home with cleaning, cooking, and watching kids.

I haven't taken the latest pics of the new baby off the camera. Maybe since we're home and Tad is off this week, we can do that plus get more pics. In the meantime, here is Lila with the baby. She and her older brothers can't keep their hands off of him.
