What a week! It began with a toothache on a tooth with no signs of decay, followed by sick Royals with strep and croup, a delivery with some scary complications, a root canal, and a beautiful new granddaughter. It was a crazy, scary, exciting and emotional week. While exhausted, we are feeling truly blessed. You can find photos of Hazel Vivian on my Instagram page. Be safe, be kind, and Stay Caffeinated.

Wowza, what a week. Full of ups and downs–but mostly ups! Congratulations on your beautiful new granddaughter!
Katherine
Sounds like an absolutely crazy week but I’m so glad everything is okay. I love her name. Hazel is so beautiful and classic and pairs so well with Vivian! Hope you’re having a lovely week.
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
Congratulations on the arrival of the newest Royal! Hazel is beautiful, and I am so glad she and your daughter came through the complications safely. And that you got your root canal taken care of. May this week be much, much calmer, and may your whole family be blessed with joy and good health.

Oh my goodness me! WHAT a week… Huge congratulations on the safe arrival of little Hazel Vivian – she looks adorable. And huge commiserations on the dental work – root canal fillings are NOT welcome at any time. I hope the other Royals are now on the road to recovery. Have a less eventful and more peaceful week, Kimberly!
S. J. Pajonas
Congrats on the new grandbaby! I’m sorry to hear about the root canal and all of that. That all sounds crazy!

Hazel is a pretty name. Congratulations. Glad they came through the complications okay.
Sorry the others have strep and croup. Hope they feel better quickly.
I hope your tooth is better. (My granddaughter had a root canal last week too.)
I hope this week will be calmer as you continue to enjoy your reading and stay safe.
Angela (Angel's Guilty Pleasures)
WOW what a week for you guys. Congratulations on the grand-baby. May this week be full of joyful moments and less craziness.
Sophia Rose
Yeah, that describes one roller-coaster of a week. Yay for the newest princess but sad her cousins had a dreary week. Sounds like you are hanging in there. 🙂
Have a good- and uneventful- next week, Kimberly!
Lorna
Wow I didn’t know about the complications but now that I think about it, that explains the C-section. I’m glad all is better. Maybe you can relax into the holiday season. Stay safe.
Anne - Books of My Heart
Well yay for the week being over and having Hazel as the prize!

I loved The Wrong Family. How to Catch a Queen is also good.
Michelle
You have had a heck of a week but YAY! Hazel is adorable. I keep scrolling back to her pictures on FB and Insta! Best Christmas Gift ever! She is just too cute. Congrats to your daughter and to you!
Have a great week, Kim! Happy Reading! xx
Gayathri
That sounds like a huge week. And congrats on the new grand kid, she is adorable. I hope your ache gets better too.
Rita @ Books Are My Comfort Zone
The most perfect face on your new grandbaby! So cute! Is she a sister to the Royals or another child of yours? Anyway God bless you in this crazy, exhausting time! If the doc couldn’t find anything with your tooth, consider it might be TMJ, one of the “lovely” side affects of my various medical conditions. The pressure could make a tooth feel achy.
So, I don’t have any bookish things to share right now as I step in and out of the blogosphere but I wanted to congratulate you on the baby. And Hazel, a sweet old-school name <3 Rita
Kimberly
Hazel is a cousin to the Royals, and my oldest daughter’s first child. The Royals come from my youngest daughter. 🙂
Nicci @ Sunny Buzzy Books
That is the week to top all weeks! Holy madness… The pictures of your new granddaughter are awesome. Congratulations, again, to you all and I hope the Royals make a speedy recovery too!

Natalie @Natflix&Books
Congratulations on the new granddaughter! I love the name Hazel. Happy reading!
Tressa @ Wishful Endings
Oh my goodness! I had my first root canal last year and don’t want to repeat it. I’m glad it seemed it went well. Congrats on the new granddaughter. It sounds like it was a bit rough, but hopefully she and her mom are doing well! I hope this week is much less exciting for you!
Linda @ (un)Conventional Bookworms
Congratulations on the new addition to your family! I’m so happy for you all, and littlest princess is the cutest baby I’ve seen in a long time 🙂

Glad to hear everything ended well with the birth of your granddaughter! Sounds like some emotional ups and downs! Ah! A toothache, strep, and croup on top of everything else?! Eeeeek!
I plan on signing up for the new audio book challenge, but I’m still trying to meet this years goal! Might be working at it until the end of the year. 🙂
Maureen @ Maureen’s Books
