Amanda Grimes had her first daughter, Brielle, on Mother's Day two years ago, May 14.

This year she welcomed her second daughter, Ambience Grace, in the to the world again on Mother's Day and in the exact same room in St. Joseph's Hospital.

Grimes' husband, Brett, named Ambience who weighed in at 9.5 pounds and measured 21 and 1/4 inches long when she was born at 7:19 a.m. Sunday.

"She looks exactly like her sister. It's crazy to look at them cause they look exactly the same," said Grimes.

But she said Ambience may have more hair. Plus Grimes was in labor only 9 hours this time compared to 20 when she had Brielle.

"The pain of labor actually isn't so bad, it's prior too that was bad and you forget about it immediately after you see their face. It's just there's no other thing like it in the world. I can't even explain," said Grimes.

It's a gift nurses help give every day.

When they're in pain, "we just tell them they're going to get a reward for this pain," said Peggy Hamilton, L.P.N.

It's a reward some of the nurses know personally and why some are working here.

The staff throw the parents a stork dinner too It's a candlelit dinner for two complete with a menu and linen tablecloth.

Lindsey and Phil Mowrey also had a little boy named Nicholas at Saint Joseph's Hospital Sunday.

At Camden Clark Memorial Hospital, Hope Thomspon had a baby boy named Alexander and Erin Stanley had a baby girl named Emma.

Marietta Memorial Hospital didn't report any births Sunday morning and phone calls weren't returned Sunday night.
