It’s no wonder Sandra Montesino was feeling a bit sick on New Year’s Eve. In an effort to go into labor, she decided to eat spicy Chinese food along with some eggplant while doing massive amounts of squats.

“I mean, I was trying anything. I thought it would be great to deliver on January 1,” the mom confessed. “Instead, I just ended up with a stomachache.”

A stomachache which turned out to be pre-labor pains. 

In the early morning of Jan. 4, after she had put on some make up, finished putting the dishes away and waited for sister to arrive to care for her 19-month-old son, Brady, she and her husband, Paul, left their Ashland home for what is usually a 45-minute drive to Newton-Wellesley hospital. That was at 2:07 a.m.

“My water broke in the car in Framingham,” she remembered. “I kept on telling my husband, ‘I need to push. I need to push.’” State police cleared the path and they arrived at the hospital at 2:28 a.m. Piper Nola Montesino joined them at 2:37 a.m.

“The nurses were absolutely fantastic,” said Sandra. “They were in control. There was no panic. They were beyond fantastic.”

Now little Piper is home with her big brother, Brady. “I feel beyond blessed. We waited a long time for Brady, suffered five miscarriages, but it was worth every second,” said Sandra.

“Brady is already showing his protective side,” recounts this proud mom. “If [Piper] is crying he goes right to her and he always remembers to kiss her every morning and each night.”
