pills, Pills, PILLS

How many of you out there take vitamins? And how many of you take vitamins that are as big as horse pills? Yes, I thought so. And how many of you hate choking them down? Ugh, I am so sick of pills that make me gag. I am on pre-natal vitamins right now (I have been for about nine months- must have plenty of folic acid already in the system when Baby comes along, musn't we?) and they are huge. I just doubled the dose, too. That's not my big complaint thought. My frustration comes when trying to give Silvana her vitamins (otherwise known in their fancier form as Nutritional Supplements). She absolutely refuses. I give her oatmeal, applesauce, coffee, ensure, anything she can think of to ask for- and them some. But what do ya do? I can't very well force them into her mouth, or force her to swallow them. I just beg and plead and be real nice about it, and hope she will take them. Okay, I'm done ranting. Any suggestions are welcome. Now, time to fix supper and give Silvana her night pills.
