Did You Take Your Vitamins Yet?

That’s my husband’s question, every morning. Well for about 2 months. He got tired of reminding me everyday. So technically, it’s his fault that I haven’t taken my vitamins in months, . The other day he saw the bottle, shook it and it was obvious, it’s err, full. So his question changed. “You just stopped taking it huh”? Umm, yeah, pretty much. Seriously, he really has to physically shove a pill in my throat for me to remember to take my vitamins. I am sooo bad at it.

Surprisingly though, while pregnant with my 2 children, respectively, I never missed a day to take my pre-natal vitamins. I’m very good at following the rules when I have to worry about the health of someone else. I stopped drinking coffee. I stopped drinking iced tea. I stopped alcohol, naturally.

In my second pregnancy, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I had to watch my food intake. Every check up I had to show them my daily log of testing. I poked my fingers 3 times a day to test my sugar level. Hard as it was, I was good. Ritually good. Annoyingly good. Now that it’s over, I can’t remember to take my daily vitamins. Figures.

Kidding aside, I really should take it everyday. After my husband showed me the bottle, I actually had an epiphany. “Take your vitamins Woman”!
