Two weeks postpartum and physically I feel pretty darn normal. I've still got a spare tire around my waist, but that is definitely to be expected. I feel like I'm perhaps shrinking down to size a bit faster this time around, which might be because Margot is a major nurser and I'm making enough milk for a neighborhood. I'm pretty hungry, but not as much as I was in pregnancy, and I'm eating whatever the heck I want.
Mentally I feel like I have less postpartum hormones then I did with Piper, although I bet my family and Patrick would disagree since I keep unloading on them each time I feel teary. After I had Piper just hearing my mom's voice, or seeing something emotional on tv would make me burst into tears. This time around I've only had a few crying sessions and its been brought on by frustrating situations like when Piper is being needy and Margot is crying and it just all suddenly seems too hard. Parenting is all highs and lows and one minute everyone is happy and sweet and fed and clean and it all seems so easy and the next minute everyone is crying and whining and hungry and I want to pull my hair out.
Margot is doing great and really is a sweet, normal little whup. She really likes the boobie, and is a quick, efficient nurser, and finishes up a nursing session in 10 minutes or less. She likes having kick time on the floor and surprisingly likes tummy time. She does not like car seats or the time between 6:00pm and 7:30pm. Patrick and I do not do well with crying children and after a few minutes of infant screams we are both starting to lose it. So the evenings have been sorta challenging with us trying to figure out what will soothe little Margot. So far it has been bouncing in our arms with our pinkie in her mouth - which brings up the pacifier situation that we are currently trying to figure out. Piper never took a pacifier, but we feel like Margot might be a kid who would benefit from one. We just have been wandering if we are going to be tethered to a pacifier for the next 2 years. But we are weighing the pros and cons and I'll let you know what we decide.
I know this could all change tonight, since she is still so little, but Margot has only woken up once a night (at 2am) for the last 4 nights! Woo hoo!

As per Federal bank technical research report one should go short in this counter. Federal bank is looking quite weak at current level and is expected to fall further. Positional traders can go short in Federal bank from current level for good gains.
