I was 3 months pregnant and had been terribly sick with all day morning sickness. I had to go to the hospital the night before to get IV fluids so I was sleeping when the first attack occurred. I awoke to the phone ringing and it was my mother, who seemed very upset. She asked me if I could believe what was happening and I had no idea what she was talking about. I jumped out of bed and went into our living room and turned on the television and saw an unbelievable horrific sight, the second World Trade Center had just been hit. I sat and cried and was scared. Nothing can describe the terror and saddness I felt when the buildings fell to the ground. I couldn't stop crying throughout the entire day. I had a doctor's appointment later that day and was happy to find out all was well with my baby. I sat and thanked God for the wellness of my baby and prayed to God to help the families affected by this trajic event and also to help us as a nation deal with what had been done. I also prayed for all of the babies who would never see one of their parents again. This makes me sad to this day.
