From Hillary: How I Feel...

When Bob and I first got our Tivo 6 years ago, we were flipping channels and stumbled on some MTV show about a 15-year-old named Steven whose mother desperately wanted him to be an actor despite his obvious disdain for being in front of the camera. We only caught two minutes of the show, but laughed so hard we quickly saved it and have never deleted it.

Anytime Bob or I find ourselves frustrated by something, we often quote Steven's muffled "I'm TIRED of this!" and feel just a little bit better.

Now that I've been on hospital bedrest for 7 days, I've quoted Steven more than once, sometimes in between tears. It's just so strange to feel normal and yet not be allowed to do anything. As I muttered a few days ago, for any mom who dreams of spending a week in bed, I can now say that it's not that great.

Thank you to everyone for all the encouragement and prayers. I can absolutely feel them and know they're helping to get all of us through the ups and downs each new day brings.

Without further ado, here's that clip of Steven for your own enjoyment:
