Aanya Announcement Aanya Tahiliani was born on 5/21/2010 at 9:33PM. She weighed 5 lb 12oz and 18.5 inches long at birth. Mom and baby had a long hard labor that ended in safe arrival of Aanya by c-section. Both are at home and resting now.

Nursery update Getting close now. Just 2 more weeks and we get to meet the little one. Meanwhile, I've been busy planning and making the nursery for quite a few weeks now. I love the way it all came together. Still waiting on the name letters that are custom order from Etsy seller. I just could not wait for them so I'll just share the pics without them :) The letters will go on the wall behind the crib. I made this bedding from Michael Miller fabric. Bumpers closeup - soft cotton chenille on the inside Glider - I made the pillow out of super soft minky fabric and also a matching blanket. Daddy added the chair rail. Last but not the least - Outfit for baby made by mommy TV armoire converted to baby closet   Also made these dresses Flannel Blankets Some other unfinished projects are still in the making. Booties & hat, more blankets and dresses, car seat cover, etc. Much to do. Hopefully I'll manage another post before the baby comes :-)

Nursery Work in progress pictures My little one's retreat to be! It is a work in progress. I made the crib skirt and bumpers (still need to finish the bumpers sides). I am making the curtains now. Also, the bookcase will have a cushy seat over it to convert it into a window seat. I've ordered wooden letters to match the bedding from Etsy.com. Can't wait for them to arrive so I can hang them. Also have some butterfly decals that I need to put up. DH needs to hang the paper lanterns. Dang, I was thinking I am almost done with the nursery LOL I just could not wait to show it off. Loving the colors in here - so different from the rest of the house. Crib Bedding I made Bumpers Wardrobe (used to be our TV armoire) And a current picture :)
