On last count, it was 1897 emails exchanged between 16 of us from 6 different countries in 19 days. This has been an awesome journey what with all the food talks, Bollywood music(gah!), more food talks and oh baby-shower discussions as well ;) And now its time to say our Thank-you's!

Thanks to all the members of the previous blog-shower team for being an inspiration. The 'blog-hunt' bit was almost similar to the last time and we hope you guys don't mind that we kept the tradition going :) We'd appreciate it, if you could all come forward and join us in wishing the MTBs here.

Each member of the group has been so kind and enthusiastic about sharing their time and energy to get this all going. Thanks..

Bluemist, for being the first one to accept to the whole plan with glee. For that lovely poem and for being very graceful when we made all the last minute changes just before you left on your holiday.

Chandni, for being the experienced one among us. For all your awesome plans, especially the photo idea. Everyone loved it, thanks to you. And a special thanks for coming up with such a cool title and the main poem. You totally rock!

Childwoman, for taking part in all this despite the very busy time at home. We are all so happy that you were with us in this and do remember that you and your family are definitely in our prayers.

Comfortablynam, for being the wise one among all of us. For having pitched in so much work in so little time, for all the collages and the last minute posts and for all the technical support. This blog wouldn't be what it is without you.

D, for all those clues you coined and a special thanks for offering to help in the last minute. Like we already said, you are a natural with words. Also the gifts you chose were a major hit with MTBs and thanks for inviting Madhuri Dixit ;)

Dee, for being the silent yet strong support. For always being there when we wanted you and for coming to our rescue when we needed to contact people and for being helpful always.

DewDropDreams, for having put-up with all the noise and chatter and for coming up with thoughtful and really cool gifts for each MTB. I'm sure a lot of thinking and searching went there and we truly appreciate it a lot.

DiDo, for jelling with us despite being the new-comer and for all the work you put in. We enjoyed your little verse, the delicious cake and the absolutely cute gifts and we are sure the MTBs enjoyed it too. It was really nice knowing you.

Divz, for being the one-woman behind all the banners. For having smiled each time we added an MTB and for doing all the work that you did despite the very sick laptop of yours. Your enthusiasm is contagious Divz and thats something that really kept us going.

Miss M, the woman behind the design of the blog. Thank you so much for searching for this very cute template and sorting out the blog account. You gave us the much needed push everytime and we appreciate all the work you've put in here despite all the exciting things at home.

Nu, for being our support system. Thank you for being such a fun part of the group, for all the food talk and for bringing Sameer into the otherwise only-girls group :D We so enjoy having you around and hate it when you leave us and go especially to eat those pani-puris.

Rani, for being so prompt and pro-active and for giving us a head start. You amazed us with your willingness and the speed with which you got your stuff ready before the holidays. We missed having you with us during the later part of the planning.

Revs, for starting it all. The child of the group with your child like enthusiasm you kept us going, mining through all the emails to get the pertinent information out, chatting with us all to coordinate the whole thing, fixing any snags that came up and for staying up all night the day before to get the posts up.

Snowsoulmate, Thanks for putting up with the enthusiastic lot and for being with us through the whole thing. We are very happy that you were game to it all and hope you had as much fun as all of us.

Sraikh, for being with us despite all the 'movers and (un)packers' work you were already doing. Please don't be sad that your page dint load at the right time. You were our life-saver and we had so much fun because of that page.

Titaxy, the love of us all. The sane one among us who kept us focused when talks moved too much on other topics. The one who was always there to help. The trooper who even wrote a post on a MTB she had never read before. The organized one who kept all the clues in order. The one who could be counted on for her thoughtful words no matter what.

And thank you dear MTBs for having taken part in this so enthusiastically and for all your kind words. Thanks for getting pregnant in the first place and due credits to your respective husbands for helping you there ;) Looking forwards to meeting your little ones.

Lots of Love,

16 very fond aunties!
