New Vitamins . . .

So Monday I called my OB boldly and asked for new prenatal vitamins. It was suggested by a mother of twins to get her to change so I can get some energy back. So the triage nurse proudly called in a month's prescription so I could get it immediately and a 3 month supply to the mail order so I'll be stocked up. She told me which version I was getting so of course. . .as the non-retail pharmacist, I had to look it up to see what "goodies" were in this brand. As I scrolled the website I saw IRON! VOILA! YAY I thought I'll definitely be soaring over the moon with these bad boys. Mental note. . .stop at Walgreens on the way home!
So last night was my last photography class and wouldn't you know it, we went over the time. Class lasted until 920. . so I'm rushing down to the car, hop on the Brookshire, then jet to 85. . b/c I gotta get to Walgreens by 10! (I think they close at 10). I mean I know I watched the clock to ensure that I would AT LEAST have a 5 minute leeway. . .b/c if the pharmacist is ANYTHING like me in my Walgreens days. . . 10 o'clock, we shut it all down! I pull into the pharmacy drive thru (man I like this window . . .TODAY. . .not when I'm working) and gladly give the technician my name! She rings me up and sends me on my way.
You can't begin to imagine the delight I have as she hands me the bag! So I pull into the garage and rush in the door to show William what I got. So he looks at the new vitamin and says. . . "Oh my God, look at that big pill." Crushing my dreams. Yeah it's big but that's b/c it's powerful!
So this morning I get to work and can't wait to eat (an empty stomach with vitamins does NOT sit well with me). Grab my OJ. . .and pop my vitamin! And I just wait as it goes down! Visions of energy just dancing in my head. . .
So I wait an hour. . .no change, I wait 2 hours. . .whew let me go for a walk around the building b/c I'm about to pass out. . .wait for 4 hours and at this point, I'm just a mess! Whew is it too early to take a lunch break and go to my car to take a nap. . .
All in all, nothing happened today. And I KNOW vitamins do not work immediately but I just had such high hopes! Oh well I'll just have to take the new horse pill again tomorrow and try it again!

  1. Good luck with the vitamins...but remember with iron comes the disadvantage of constipation. Go back to Walgreens and pick you up some Benefiber too!! :)

  4. Now, that's funny! Girl, just take it one day at at time. I wish I could tell you there is a return in energy...but not for a while. Especially after you deliver. I just remember thinking WTF just happened?

    Love ya, Sherrie
