Cavaretta,36, said she thought Sienna would come fast but not that fast! Her first daughter had come quickly as well, the labor lasting only six hours. Luckily her friend/photographer Emily Robinson had been there to photograph the birth of the seven pound, four ounce baby. The baby being delivered by midwife Lori Ross-Berke.

​She later spoke on the phone with the news saying- 

"I had a fast labor with (first daughter) Sophia, only six hours, we all felt this would go a lot faster … but I didn't expect it to go this fast,"

Her husband Joe was woken from his sleep get the car started when her water broke. Her midwife was then called to meet her at the hospital immediately. ​

"Right away, my contractions were non-stop, and very painful, it was a 25-minute drive to the hospital. It was unbelievable, the longest 25 minutes of my life."

As everyone had made it to the hospital, she stepped out of the car only to then feel a "HUGE" contraction. She was six steps away from the door when she said "I don't think I can make it, I can't go six steps right now".

​She made it, with a little help, to a pillar near the door then saying "Lori, the baby's heads out". After two strong pushes, (while Cavaretta held on tight to a wheelchair she never actually sat on) the baby was born.
