911DA Story: Story

My husband and I were in the hospital and I was giving birth to our 2nd daughter, Natalie Elizabeth Ferraro. Natalie was born on 9/11/01 at 7:13 A.M. By this time, we had a familty memeber bring our 1st daughter, Julia Rose, to the hospital to be with us. We were all in complete bliss, enjoying the birth of our new daughter, and completely unaware of what was happening in the world around us. By the time I was admitted to a room at about 9:20 A.M., the bliss ended abruptly, just in time to watch the 2nd plane hit on the television. Natalie is the ray of sunshine for us on one of the darkest days of history.
