Stick and Puck

Welcome to Stick and Puck! The names stems from my love of the game of hockey. I cannot guarantee up-to-date hockey information here, but I can guarantee my political views and bizarre sense of humor will be in full effect. If you are easily offended, or have an affinity for the Repulican Party, you may want to read elsewhere. If you have an open mind and good sense of humor, come on in.

Baby Lumpkin!

Enough of the politics...here's what's happening with our baby!


  • Age of Fetus—17 weeks
    The baby is developing at a steady pace and has undergone some incredible changes. This week, the baby begins taking on more fat, which is very important for its ability to create and maintain heat and for metabolism.
  • If your baby is a girl, primitive egg cells are developing in her ovaries. Girls are born with all the eggs they will ever have.
  • The egg you released to conceive this baby is as old as you are now!
  • Other changes that are happening:
  • The baby's ears now stand out from the head.
  • The placenta will continue to grow from this point on but only in diameter, not thickness.
  • This week a temporary hair called lanugo will appear on the baby's body and head but disappear by birth.
  • No one is sure of the purpose of this hair.
  • Baby's Size (head to rump) this week: About 5.25 to 6 inches
  • Weight: Approximately 7 ounces
  • Right now your baby is about the size of a small banana.

Yaay!

Our child is really more the size of Shrek, not a banana. : ) With all the activity I'm hoping we've got a great hockey player on the way.

Hey Bro!!!

Berky gave me the address of your site when I saw him in Italy...way to go...it rocks that you have it up! I've thought about starting a blog, but I know that I don't have the time to keep up with it, and I'd probably get into trouble going off on a rant of somekind.

Did you get the Europe pics? Say Hi to Ashley...catch you laters...
