This was QUITE A WEEK. This week's slideshow repeats some baby pictures, just because I was out of the office for all of the Debut of Princess Squashyface -- er, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana -- and I want to do some squeeing and I assume you all want to look at baby pictures again and also I think now that we've all recovered from BABY, we can give Wills some props for not wearing giant hideous Dad Jeans; a LOT of Prince Harry, who took his leave of Australia; and a wee bit here and there from the other royals, whom I assume mostly spent the rest of the week reading about Princess Charlotte, as I did. In case you missed all the fuss, Yahoo has[ video of Wills and Kate popping out with the sprog](https://news.yahoo.com/video/britains-royal-couple-unveil-baby-172857142.html?soc%5Fsrc=default&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); you can see [Prince George giving us his royal wave at YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP43kR%5FWPBo&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Here on GFY, we were chockablock with ROYAL BABIES. To wit: - Here's the post I threw up as soon as I woke up and found out we had a Princess, [in which we speculate on her name](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royals-round-up-special-announcement-its-a-girl-05-2015/). - Wills brought George to meet his sister and [it was EXTREMELY CUTE](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-prince-george-and-prince-william-visiting-the-new-baby-05-2015/). - And then, of course, [we all got to meet the baby, Cheeks McFace 2: The Noodling](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-duke-and-duchess-of-cambridge-and-baby-girl-05-2015/). - And yesterday, [we had a bit of fun fan-casting *The Royal We*](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-casting-the-royal-we-05-2015/) (which you should probably[ buy for your mother, or your mother-in-law, or your grandma, or your friends who are mothers, in advance of Mother's Day on Sunday, of course](https://www.amazon.com/The-Royal-We-Jessica-Morgan/dp/1455557102/ref=pd%5Frhf%5Fgw%5Fp%5Fimg%5F1?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)). Additionally: **Heather and I are going to be in Chicago for** [**the Printers Row Lit Fest**](https://printersrowlitfest.org/index.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)**,** and finally we have a time and date for our event! We'll be chatting with Beth Fenner, Editor-in-Chief of *Chicago Magazine*, **on Saturday, June 6th, at 1pm, about *The Royal We*, this here blog, and whatever else you want to ask us, after which we will be signing books and chatting you up!** We are VERY EXCITED to finally visit Chicago, so please come out and see us!
