There is nothing on Anu's wiki page so i would say there probably wasn't.

Anu and Padomay fought and through their fight, their bloods combined created everything. The time, the space, the spirits. But Padomay created some spirits from his own blood, the Daedra (or at least most of them!).
I just thoght of something. Does that mean that Padomay was weaker, since he shed more blood?
The Only thing created by Anu alone was Padomay
There is a common misconception especially when it comes to the mixing of Anu and Padomay's blood which contradicts other statements of the Lore. First off, Aedra means Our Ancestors in the Lore of the Elves while Daedra means Not Our Ancestors and the two sides both aedra and daedra have a common origin. Its mostly the Altmer that attempts to separate the two groups. Before the Aedra and the Daedra, there were the Et'ada, the Original Spirits and there were many of them in the beginning. Eventually one took on a personality, the first who would become known as Akatosh and with him came the march of time which allowed the others to develop their own personalities. After some time, the Et'ada Lorkhan got an idea and worked with Magnus to create a new world by using their powers.
Some Et'ada agreed, having become interested in the project. These would become known as the Aedra (who were supposed to have both created by both Anu's and Padomay's blood) and the Manga Ge (who were supposed to have been created by Anu's blood). Others who refused to help create Mundus would become known as the Daedra (who were supposed to have been created by Padomay's blood). The Aedra and Manga Ge proceeded to create Mundus but some of them realized that during this process, they were losing a great deal of power. Upon discovery, Mangus was the first to leave with most of his power intact punching a massive hole into the dimensions and returned to Aetherius. The others, who would be known as Manga Ge swiftly followed, punching their own smaller holes into the dimensions before any of them could be bound to Mundus.
Those Et'ada that would remain to become the Divines, willing stayed and continued to become weaker and weaker. As a result they became bound to creation including its effects such as death when the planets and moons that they embody are destroyed.
That's some good thinking, but still, lore is just books written by either one side or the other.
But I have a question. If creating the world was such a big task for even many gods combined, how come all Daedra have their own realm (which they obviously created themselves alone)?
And if it was Mundus that it was defficult to create, then couldn't the gods (Et'Ada, Aedra, Manga Ge) create their own realms like the Daedra? Why create Mundus and sacrifice some of their might?

Call Mundus a first attempt, an experiment with which the Realms of Oblivion are secondary versions of that first attempt possibly more refined so that the Daedric Princes can still roam in other realms while having themselves anchored to their own Realms which is the source of their power and themselves. But unlike Mundus, which is actually the planets and moons themselves rather than space outside, the Daedric Princes did not expend their power on creating life. That was the big kicker, the Aedra/Divines expended so much power in the creation of life itself for the planets and for the species that live in Mundus.
In Oblivion, its stated that Mundus is nothing more than an Oblivion Realm itself with its Prince Lorkhan having been "killed" and is now absent. If true then Mundus is truly unique because its the power of the other Aedra that holds it into its place in existence rather than one being's power and will.
Mundus was not an experiment. It was the effort of a number of god-like beings! How could these beings have been so wrong? Or did they know that the price of creating life would be a part of their power? And how/why are the Oblivion Realms any easier to make? Unless the Daedric Relms are actually like Voldemort's horcruxes, or Sauron's ring and were never meant for creating life. But if that's really the case, did they need to create their own realms? Couldn't they kill the weakened Aedra and take over Nirn for themselves.
