Babies stay under wraps as Georgina goes home
Monday April 23rd 2007
THE public may have to wait days to catch a glimpse of the new Ahern grandchildren.
Georgina Ahern is not expected to leave Holles Street Hospital in Dublin until this evening ) at the earliest, and her two new bundles of joy could be at least a week later.
At just over three pounds each, premature newly-borns Rocco and Jay are being monitored in a special unit at the maternity hospital.
Medical staff said they were doing very well in their incubators and did not need ventilators.
Only family, friends and hospital staff have set eyes on the new arrivals.
Proud grandfather Bertie Ahern has visited, along with Cecelia Ahern and boyfriend David Keoghan. It is understood that Georgina's mother Miriam is making plans to return home from a holiday in Chile with her restaurateur boyfriend Terry McCoy.
Early reports suggest that the identical twins have long legs like Georgina but any resemblance to An Taoiseach has not yet been detected.
A spokesperson for the new parents said that the couple and their twin boys will pose for a family shot - but it may not take place for at least a week.
She confirmed that new parents Georgina (27) and Nicky Byrne will not sell the first pictures of the boys - which have been given a potential price tag over €1m.
"Georgina could be in for a few more days and the boys could be even longer," said spokesperson Joanne Byrne.
"Because they were premature, the staff want to keep an eye on them and they are in a unit for premature babies. Georgina had to stay in last night ) and could be there longer. When mothers have caesarians they often have to stay longer than usual.
"They are not interested in selling the pictures because, unlike their wedding, they feel this involves not just them, but other lives. They have not had offers, because they said they would not sell the pictures, but they had inquiries."
It is likely that 'Hello!' magazine was one of those in touch regarding a picture deal after it paid over €500,000 for the couple's closely-guarded wedding snaps in 2003.
Georgina went into labour after she visited the Holles Street hospital for tests and doctors decided to carry out an emergency caesarean. The twins were born just before 10am last Friday.
