When Sauced gets back from running home for our shit, they're sticking mesoprostyl up my cervix. Will try to live-tweet between napping and the hard part. Send Viking vibes my way! I still want to do this without pain meds if possible.

Remember to save the tweet feed to show your child's friends when they're 15! No pain meds? You're insane. Good luck though, hope everything goes fantastically.

Just don't put yourself through more than you need to. I know when my wife was induced, it was almost 15 hours of constant contractions before our daughter was born. We went through about 2 hours of it before we shifted over to an epidural. The main problem is that pitocin contractions are typically significantly worse than natural.

I was hoping for some magical wall board stuff, something with more sound proof qualities than egg crate foam that we could hang temporarily without having to do so much reno.
Maybe see if you can find some commercial acoustical paneling. Lots of places like restaurants need that shit. Looks like a burlap-covered board. Maybe I should just get him a guitar in a year or two. Or a piano.
Soccer ball. Also a goal or he will just hit it on the side of the house. |

Good info. Thanks. I don't think we'll be doing that to our house though. I was hoping for some magical wall board stuff, something with more sound proof qualities than egg crate foam that we could hang temporarily without having to do so much reno.
I don't like egg crate foam. First off, the actual acoustic stuff that has a decent flame spread factor is ugly (you do NOT use the sleeping pad stuff.) and second, it involves large amounts of industrial glue to hang it. It's great at stopping long-wave sound like bass, though. Google "acoustic wall covering" and the vinyl and fabric stuff you'll find all works really well. It's what call centers use to deaden some of the noise of having 200 or so people in the same open area. On one project, about 12 years ago, we used perforated aluminum panels that were shaped in a wave pattern. I never got to see the finished space, but I hear it worked as good as the egg crate foam the older space had, but with the bonus of not being ugly as sin and was able to be nailed in a few spots instead of glued all over. I can't recall the name of the damn product but I found a link for something similar, though. http://acousticstandards.com/perfmetalpanelsceilingwall.cfmIt works pretty well for long and short wave sounds. I hate most of the installed pics on that site though, as they look like crap. However, some show how you can use it as a whole wall covering and it looks better than just intermittent panels everywhere. |

Give the kid a couple of weeks and he'll be bored of the drum kit and will want to do something else that doesn't require expensive soundproofing. If for some reason you have a space alien child that actually perseveres at anything, nurture their eldritch talent with a set of electronic drums for which headphones work perfectly.

That's really the main take-away from my post, too. And that egg foam is not sound-proofing. Please stop posting that, folks. It's for sound deadening inside the room. Is there a turkey viking?  |

They do make a soundproofing drywall that is much denser than normal drywall or you could use a layer of cork. |

He's presumably less indisposed than VL, though, which is why I asked about him and not her.

She's been updating Facebook with her status.. but I don't know her well enough to not feel like I'm stealing her thunder by saying more than that.

Finally made it to RenFest. Got three hours of sleep because I put off working on my costume until the last minute, but got my dress wearable. Also bought some awesome knee-high boots.
Rattran, I went by the chairs booth and said 'hi'. The whole family was there this weekend so they said 'hi' back. My friend also bought a small pendant from y'all's booth.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

I could call him, but I'm fairly sure he's sleeping. As he should be, I'd be sleeping too. Since he won't get a good night's rest for the next 5 years, minimum. |

Just get a potted plant.
And which pendant? We make some nice ones. As a wild guess, cat pentacle with hematite!

People who are not your family is the way to do it. When something catches fire, it is a lot more funny.

I was busy giving Heather my undivided attention. :)
She and the boy are doing great - we are just about to get out of here and head home for the first time. Then the real fun starts!
Thanks for the kind words!
