I'm so dizzy my head is spinnin...


Today in Kennedy's prayer she asked that "Sophie will grow up to be quite a woman" and she continually prays that "Grandpa Barben will come back to life", not really sure how to approach that one??? She has also asked me several times in the last few days if she can have a little brother, did someone put her up to this because if so IT IS NOT FUNNY! Just kiddin, I would also love to have a little boy but all in good time, all in good time.


Mike had his 29th birthday over the weekend. We went to dinner with our good friends the Buckmelters and the Farris'. We had yummy Chicago Pizza and topped it off with a little Cold Stone. Mike got various things for his mountain bike and a watch with an altimeter. I took the girls up to his hospital and dropped off treats for him and his co-workers.


The last five days I have been incredibly dizzy and have woken up with horrible headaches. I went to the doc today to see what was up. She did a series of tests, similar to what I would assume someone gets when being pulled over for drunk driving and then she did some blood work. If anyone has advice or ideas as to what could be happening, please share. I am so annoyed by the whole thing since it is keeping me from running and getting ready for my half marathon. I am hoping it ends soon and I can pick right back up on my training. Plus, running errands and holding my little Sophie without feeling like I am going to tip over or pass out would be cool too.

Summer,
I am so sorry. I went through a time where I was having crazy dizziness and it ended up that my thyroid was low, you should also have them check your iron. I hope you feel better soon. Tell Mike Happy Birthday!

I always have dizzy bouts when my iron is low. I get headaches too. When I start feeling that way I take an iron supplement for a while.

David's wife had something like that when after she had Spencer. I think it had something to do with spiral cord fluid.. sorry sound to crazy. PLEASE let us know what the doc says...
