Wow, really? I'm going to have to check that out.

I can proudly report that I consume no more caffeine than what's in the occasional chocolate cake.

I consume a lot of chocolate, actually... so I'm gonna have to cut back during my next pregnancy, I guess. Darn.

Hmmm... maybe not.

I googled too, and some sites claim that dark chocolate does in fact have a tiny percentage of caffeine - bummer for me because the darker the chocolate, the more I love it. Still, it's only a tiny tiny bit - milligrams - that they're even mentioning, so we're probably okay.

Amen!
