The new parents announced the pregnancy in early December, according to E! News, and soon after, Sawa shared a pic of Hudson’s nursery.

“Arrived today, room’s almost done,� he wrote, captioning a photo of the crib and what appeared to be a jungle themed nursery. He continued to post photos of the room’s progress in later weeks.

“Nikita� aired its series finale on the CW on Dec. 27, 2013, and Sawa sent it off with an optimistic outlook.

“Prediction: Millions of new fans are going to discover NIKITA on Netflix, Amazon,(etc.) in the next few years & ask ‘why didn’t this last?!’� he wrote.
