I just had the worst night of sleep ever. I am blaming my sleeplessness on the blended chai drink I had around 3:30 yesterday afternoon. I have been avoiding caffeine throughout my pregnancy, but it sounded so good and the lady told me in was 98% caffeine free. Caffeine has never been a problem for me. I could drink anything right before going to bed in the past and sleep like a baby. Of the 9 hours I tried to sleep last night, I think I maybe slept four. I didn't spend the whole 9 hours in bed, though. I was up reading for a while. I was given a bag of maternity clothes this last week, so I went through and tried them all on. I layed in bed for hours, feeling the baby kick (I didn't mind that part...I could do that for hours and hours). It was a very frustrating night. I felt like crap yesterday evening as well, wishing I could throw up and feeling so jittery. I am not sure if it was the drink, but I think I will be staying away from blended chais from here on out. Today is going to be a tired day, but at least I don't have to work. I could probably even take a nap.

I am always like that with caffeine, so I feel your pain. For me, iced tea cannot be consumed in the evening nor can that Java syrup you blend with milk for a frappacino-esque beverage. Eric thinks I’m crazy, especially with the Java syrup because he’s convinced that it must have so little real coffee in it. But, it keeps me awake every time! The curse is a blessing, though, when I’m actually trying to remain awake…one cup of coffee and I’m good.
