   A couple of photos taken in first hour after he was born. First Ephraim, second Sophie and Ephraim.  Woke Sophie just after he wass born. Had a couple of issues when it came to dressing him - some of the things I had out just weren't going to fit, so had to send someone to get other stuff out, so it was just what they found.  Hat he is wearing was mine when I was a baby . 
Weight in pounds is about 9 pounds 7. 
No I don't watch the show on sat night.  Have had some interesting responces to the name - have to say it at least twice to most people.  I guess there are both advantages and disadvantages to an uncommon name. 
Going ok so far - sleeped most of yeasterday and hardly fed, made up for the feeding today.  Just waiting to see how things go when milk comes in, starting to feel full already

   Is the name Ephraim pronounced so that it rhymes with his last name?
 It is a lovely traditional name.
