My wife and I were trying to have our second child. It was difficult (just like the first) so we needed to do invitro. We were all set in the room waiting for the doctor and we were becoming very impatient. When he finally came in he apologized but he said he couldn't belive a plane had just hit the WTC. We did the procedure and when he went out and came back in he looked like he lost all of his color. He said a second plane had hit.

I went back to work and remember when I heard that the tower collapsed. I stopped and felt my stomach drop, having not seen it I thought I was just being overly dramatic. Then later when I saw the footage, I realized it was much worse than I thought.

We were successful that day and our little girl is now 2 and a half.
