In addition, I'll be attending women's health expos and medical conferences with the goal to promote dialogue between women and their health-care providers.

I just had that conversation this morning with my doctor. I just got back from the hospital a half-hour ago, and nothing will make me happier than to replicate the DNA of my amazing husband. I'm optimistic.

I am enormously honored to be one of the spokesmen of the New Age Womens Health Campaign, so you'll be seeing me in public service announcements and public appearances supporting the campaign.

I don't have feeling in my feet to my fingertips; I also have active lesions in my bone marrow and in my eyes.

I remember telling Mom, 'I can't go to the Betty Ford Center. That's like going to the high school where your mom is the principal.' But maybe I could have gotten the family rate.

There are such wonderful blessings in my life - I have this amazing baby, an amazing family, and I loved X Factor - all these moments of joy, and then these sharp drop-offs. I'd be awake, lying in bed, crying. There's these weird moments of misplaced anger I have.

Today's kids aren't taking up arms against their parents; they're too busy texting them.

So instead of watching TV, we read every night together as a family.
