I got dehydrated . . .

Not sure how it happened since I am usually pretty obsessive about fluid intake and I always have my big honkin' water bottle with me. I think I was just not very thirsty today and forgot to drink. I had what I mistakenly thought was a sinus headache that got progressively worse throughout the day. By this evening I was in some serious pain. Lee said it is a "meningeal sign" headache from dehydration. So I have been pushing fluids tonight. Feeling some better now, but I still have the headache if I bend over or move around certain ways. Mariele has been nursing a lot. I guess she has been taking fluid out of me faster than I have been replacing it.
