Baby Jack

Jack Anthony Hampton was born on December 24, 2010 at 1:15 am Bangkok time.
He weighed 7 lbs 5 oz (3310 grams) and was 20 inches long (52 cm).
We made it to the hospital in a taxi (no train!) in only 20 minutes. That in itself was a great answer to prayer. We arrived at the hospital around 7:45 pm and Jack joined us a few hours later. I'm sure I will write up the whole birth story soon.
We've been back at home for a few days now and everyone is doing great. I feel so much better than I did after Asher's birth. Asher still loves his Baby Jack and Roger is keeping busy taking care of everyone.

Boy Oh Boy

That's right, there's going to be another boy at the Hampton House.


The ultrasound today showed us a healthy, growing baby boy. This one is a bit more modest than Asher, but we managed to get the proof we needed.

While this does mean I need to stop perusing Baby Gap for dresses I do finally feel justified in lugging every bit of Asher's baby clothing from Indonesia to Kentucky to Vancouver to Bangkok.


Trucks, snails, cars and dirt. I think having two boys is going to fun!

We are expecting Hampton Baby #2 on Christmas Day.

He's here!!!

Asher is here!!!

He was born on September 20, 2008 at 5:18 pm (local time), 6:18 am (East Coast USA).

He is 7lbs. 8oz., 21 inches long...blonde hair and blue eyes! It's too early to tell who he looks like.

We'll update with pictures and details when we get home from the hospital.

Introducing...

After several weeks of thinking and thinking and thinking we have named our son! We love this name because it has a very special meaning.

Asher - In the Old Testament, Asher was the 8th son of Jacob and basically his name means "happy and blessed by God" and "promised a life full of abundance and blessing."

Then Leah said, "How happy am I! The women will call me happy."
So she named him Asher.
Genesis 30:13

William - This is to honor a very important man in Roger's life. William was Roger's honorary father at our wedding and has been an important part of Roger's life for many years.

So, now the baby is named and all we have to do is wait for him to get here. I am now at 24 weeks and my belly seems to be getting bigger every day.

Asher is always moving and kicking. Sometimes he even curls up on one side of my belly and I can feel a hard spot, I am guessing that's his back or head. He now weighs more than a pound and is about a foot long.

In 10 days Grandma Susan and Uncle Mel will be arriving and bringing with them all of the stuff we have bought for Asher. I think I need to start making space for him in our extra bedroom. While they are visiting we will be able to go have a 4D ultrasound and a regular ultrasound at my doctor's appointment. We are also going to check out the Labor and Delivery floor at the hospital so they can see where Asher will be born.

Coming September 2008

Well, as you have probably heard by now, we are having a baby!
We are very excited and anxious and can't wait for September to get here.
For now you can check here to see pictures and get updates about everything.
