Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My name is Heather, and Im 23 years old now, and I have so many memorys for September 11,2001. I was 9 months pregnant and due on the 13th of September, and I had contractions all weekend long. It was about 8:00am that morning and I was watching cartoons with my daughter, and I was still having contractions. We didnt get any local channels so I didnt know anything was going on. I called my grandmother who live right down the road, about 10:00am that morning, and I told her to be on the lookout and that I might need her to watch my daughter. She said ok, and isnt awful was happened. I said what happen, she said arent you watching tv, i said yes but im watching cartoons with her. And she started telling me what was going on and i was shocked. I couldnt believe something like that had happened. And of course i couldnt watch it no local channels. I was just stunned. I kept having contractions and i called my husband to let him know to come home we were going to the hospital. In the mean time i put my daughter down for a nap, and I took a shower. While i was in there i just couldnt believe everything that was going on. I got out of the shower, got ready, got my daughter ready, and waited for my husband to come home. He got home, he washed up, and we were on our way. I dropped my daughter off at my aunts, and then went through mcdonalds drive through,(my husband was hungry). So we went to the hospital and they admitted me. I asked the doctor if my child would be born on this day, and he said no, the baby should come after midnight, so that realived me. But guess what, the baby didnt wait. My son Kolten was born 9:35PM that evening. I just was amazed. With everything wrong, and people losing their family, friends, and loved ones, i had a beautiful baby boy in my hand. We had brought another living soul in this world. So September 11, 2001 hold many memorys. Through all the bad that was happening, something good came out of that day.
