Top of the tots as gran's greet baby Nicole
WESTLIFE singer Shane Filan is celebrating the arrival of an uptown girl of his
own after his wife Gillian gave birth to baby Nicole over
the weekend. The couple's first child was born in Sligo General Hospital at
about 8.27am on Saturday morning and although Gillian was reportedly two
weeks
premature, the delivery went smoothly.
The happy couple have so far refused any pictures of their new
arrival, even declining a reported offer of E750,000 from a magazine. But
proud grannies Mai and Rosaleen were beaming with joy on Monday as they
came to visit their newest grandchild.

Shane is already changing nappies
Westlife singer Shane Filan is already changing his new baby Nicole's nappies.
He said yesterday: "I have been changing her nappies and feeding bottles.
"Its great fun. It really is. In fact, I'm off to feed the baby again right
now." Shane said he is looking forward to having little Nicole and mum
Gillian to himself for the next six weeks at their home in Sligo. Westlife don't
resume touring and recording until early September.
The 26-year-old first time dad added: "The fact Nicole was a couple of weeks
early means we have that extra time together at home when they come out of
hospital in a few days. "Its fantastic."
Nicole weighed in at 5lbs 7oz last Saturday at Sligo General Hospital. She was
induced by caesarean section after doctors decided fluid in Gillian's womb
was at an unacceptably low level. Shane said Gillian is now feeling fine.
"She's feeling much better the past couple of days and is looking forward to
coming home." He added: "Nicole is great as well. She likes to sleep a lot." He
said his Westlife pals were very excited about the baby.
Former band member Brian McFadden-who has tow children with estranged wife
Kerry-was in touch. Mark Feehily already visited Gillian and the baby. And Kian
Egan was due in the hospital later yesterday when he returned from a holiday
aboard.
Shane confirmed he and Gillian rejected an offer of a lot of
money by a glossy magazine for the first picture of baby Nicole.
"The baby cant say No, and we don't want to exploit the baby's identity
like that," he said.
