Yup, we were on our way to the hospital when we heard. I sat in the lobby before they took me up, with about 15 other people, huddled around the tv, and I saw the second plane hit there. I had a C-section, and I remember it took sooooo long for them to get me ready, because everyone was in shock about what happened.
And for the three days in the hospital, (up all crazy hours nursing a newborn and getting checked on myself after surgery, and having nothing on tv but news coverage), I alternated between feeling guilty for being so happy when so many people had lost loved one, and feeling guilty that I had brought a child into this crazy world.
I found out later than my son's little sister from his Dad was born on Sept 11th, too, just a few years earlier. Weird.
