I was very pregnant and had stayed home from work. I had started to retain a lot of fluid and put myself on bed rest for two days to see if it would help. I turned on the tv that morning and wondered why in the world they were showing Die Hard that early in the morning. Then I saw the second plane hit and then the towers fell. I just laid there in my bed bawling and thinking. All those people just died. I just watched thousands of people die. I could not even think straight. Later that day I had a friend check my blood pressure. It was ok, but I was not. That Saturday I gave birth to my first son. The only thing on the tv was reruns of the towers falling and I thought....what kind of world have I brought my baby into. Very hard week. I still think Andrew was born one month early due to the stress of that day
