Francesca's Day One

[in Ioana's arms] [on hospital bed]

Francesca was born at 4:25 a.m. on September 9, 2001 at NYU Downtown Hospital. She was 20 inches long and 7 pounds, 15 ounces at birth. Francesca was also born with a tooth (lower front) ready to sprout, making her one in two thousand.. We left NYU Downtown, which is very close to where the World Trade Center stood, the night before the terrorist attack.
