A set of identical twins were born in different decades last week after being born on opposite sides of midnight on New Year's Eve.

Baby Marcello was delivered by Caesarian minutes before midnight in 2009. His brother Stephano was born moments later — in 2010.

Juan Velasco, the twins' father, said it would be fun for the boys to enjoy birthday parties on different days when they are older.

He added he was relieved both babies were delivered safely after a high-risk pregnancy. Born 10 weeks premature, the twins are expected to remain in the hospital for two months.

Their proud mother, Margarita Velasco, went into labor Dec. 31 in Tampa, Fla.
