I was 8 1/2 months pregnant. I was at work and just turned on the tv to watch the news....i was watching wondering what had happened when i saw the second plane hiot the tower i was in bewilderment....could not believe what i just saw......at that time i felt a searing pain and fell to my knees....i called my mom and she came right over and took me to hospital....baby was not due until oct 12....i was scared but at the same time i knew it would have been allright,...see my birthday is on pearl harbor day....so in an eerie way i was calm....but at the hosp they decided to try to stop labor...it worked,,she came just a few weeks later,,,,so not only is it a day to remember always i have other reminders of that day also...i weep for all the loss of life and wish i could have truly helped,,,had i not been pregnant i would have gotten to ny just o thelp in some way....anyway my daily prayers go to all the ones who lost that day.....and to our nation who lost its " innocence" so to speak....god bless all
