Belleview twins, dad, mom share birthday

BELLEVIEW - It's hard to forget a birthday in the Dover family: Mom, Dad and 1-year-old twins were all born on Nov. 26.

Today, Kimberly Dover will turn 31, her husband, Billy, will be 35, and their twins, Angelica and Derrick, will celebrate their first birthday.

The Central Florida parents said they were surprised to have any children, let alone on their birthday.

After years of infertility, they were about to give up.

Instead they tried one more treatment, a series of shots that proved effective.

The babies were due Dec. 17, 2003. But Kimberly Dover was hospitalized a month earlier with complications, and a doctor decided to deliver the babies by Caesarean section - on the same day the expectant parents were born.

"I really wasn't thinking about it until the doctor came in that morning to see what was going on," Kimberly Dover said.

The proud parents are looking forward to more birthdays.

"I can't wait till they go to Walt Disney World," Kimberly Dover said. "And the Christmas parade. They're going to love the lights."

Belleview is about 50 miles northwest of Orlando.
