Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson probably wasn't paying too much attention to the NFL Draft on Friday, and that's because he had slightly more important things to focus on, like the birth of his baby daughter.
Wilson and his wife, Ciara, welcomed a baby girl into the world. Wilson shared the news of the baby's birth on social media, where he also revealed the baby's name.
Sienna Princess Wilson was born at 7:03 p.m. on Friday.
In a picture posted to Instagram, Wilson added the following caption:
"Dear Sienna Princess Wilson, No matter how big the wave, we will always be your calm in the storm. We Love You. Love, Mommy & Daddy."
The baby is Ciara's second child, but her first with Wilson.
If Wilson was in the delivery room, he was probably amazed at the impeccable timing of Sienna's arrival.
Wait, did Russell Wilson's baby arrive during the third round of the NFL draft? That's amazing. https://t.co/lqalGxigmy

Yup, she arrived during the third round, which just happens to be the same round where the Seahawks drafted her dad back in 2012.

Sienna's birth comes nearly 10 months after the couple got married last July in England.
Three months after the wedding, the 31-year-old singer announced that she was pregnant.
Near the end of her pregnancy, Ciara decided to round up her family for a set of maternity photos that made headlines back in March. Most of those headlines seemed to revolve around the fact that Wilson's hands didn't seem to be connected to anyone's body. Just look below and you'll understand.
The child in the picture is Ciara's 2-year-old son and Sienna's older brother, Future Jr.
Apparently, babies love draft week because, it's been a big 24 hours for tiny humans.
It all started on Thursday after Garett Bolles was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. After being picked by the Broncos, Bolles brought his newborn baby to the stage with him when he went to hug NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

There was another baby situation on Friday when third-round draft pick Montravius Adams took a call from the Packers while standing in the delivery room with his newborn baby son.

The Seahawks and Packers open the 2017 season against each other, which means Wilson and Adams have four months to find a babysitter.
