3-9 hours?!? Well, it's been a challenging morning, and our afternoon musical performance should be interesting. By then we'll be around hour 6. I drank regular coke like it was going out of style during pregnancy...I was a little annoyed with all the "Dont's" of pregnancy, and felt entitled. Apparently, it didn't help decrease his sensitivity to caffeine. It had to go when he was and infant, due to sensitivity. I recently added more frequent caffeine consumption back into my diet due to a rash of migraines and desire to drink real coffee even if I couldn't but real dairy into it. Have you ever had almond milk and decaf? Cloudy brown water. So, now a can of coke doesn't really touch my headaches like it used to and I'm back to Excedrin...which is exceptionally strong, but better than prescription med's (If you're breastfeeding and taking Imitrex, watch out, for me, it had really painful side effects...which were bad with expired pills, and much worse with the fresh ones). Yeah, so I could just about re-shingle the roof in this 14 degree weather with all the hyper energy I have (I hate caffeine, BTW)...still bearing a headache, but not hailing any porcelain goddesses over it this week (thankfully). And for Stefan....
IDK, but I'm doubting percentages of caffeine that actually get into milk. Or I'm blessed with the most hyper sensitive child ever....who is right now talking cat voice (those wicked high pitched babble screams), in his crib for the 3rd nap attempt today. It is amusing to find him in all sorts of interesting crib positions now that he can get to sitting and standing on his own (though you wouldn't know that he could do that from the tantrums he throws when I put him down on the floor...where he lays for 15 minutes...until I leave the room...then he's happily able to get up on his own again).
So, babies and caffeine, don't mix. Especially when mom has a headache and he has the pitch of a dog whistle...can you say F#9...gah!! And I promise to have more interesting, informative posts soon with a few less run-on sentences...just recuperating from the b-day bash and work etc.
