Habits are a real headache. For almost 20 years, I’ve woken up and taken a birth control pill everyday. It was never a hassle, it was just what I did. I added some allergy medicine in there over the past five years or so, and that was fine too. So why is it that suddenly taking a prenatal vitamin seems like a Herculean task?

It’s habit, obviously. Going off the pill in May meant I no longer had a daily medication routine that had to be followed. Sure, I should take my allergy medicine, but nothing dire would happen if I didn’t. I’d be cranky, maybe sneeze a bunch, and possibly have a headache, but so what?
I’m shocked, actually, that getting it together and taking these things is so hard. I can go to the gym 4 or 5 days a week after work for months, but here I am, stressing about this ridiculous vitamin regimen.
So, I’m taking one now, tonight, in hopes of getting back in the swing of things. Maybe it’s just because this whole baby thing doesn’t really feel like it’s happening yet. I’m not sure. But I’ll make a concerted effort to get it together.
And go to the gym tomorrow.
