I enjoyed the books so much that I even had my husband read me part of the 7th book in the delivery room! That and popsicles can only distract a pregnant gal so long though...
Harry Potter will always have a special place in my heart. It reminds me of days spent reading in Aiden's nursery and dreaming about the day he would be born. It reminds me of the day Aiden was born and how my sweet husband did everything he could to make it a peaceful day for me. It reminds me of the many hours I spent breastfeeding my tiny little newborn while carefully balancing my book on the Boppy pillow.
I can't wait to read these books with Aiden someday. I half expected him to come out with a lighting shaped scar on his forehead! Haha.
Now the big question is, how do you follow up a series like Harry Potter?
What should I read next?
Help!

...and I'm tearing up like crazy. Harry Potter is special for me, too, but I can't imagine associating it with your own child! I might, just maybe wish he had a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead, but let's be real - it's probably a good thing he doesn't. I hope he loves it as much as we do! And yes, now you're a member of the frustrating club called 'Nothing compares to HP.' I blame JK Rowling.
This Will be an awesome story to share with him one day! I can't help you with a reading series because I don't read much! I know that's terrible but my concentration is non existent. Sure, I can blame pregnancy now, but I really never have the concentration for it!
what a fun way to make the pregnancy fly by! i'm at 28 weeks now, and i find myself creating tasks to keep my mind from thinking of things other than wanting to meet that little man :) also - your bump pics are so, so cute!
I have really enjoyed reading the series. I am on book 5 and it's getting really interesting. What a perfect way to spend your pregnancy :)
I'm so glad that Rach (This Italian Family) steered me in your direction! This post is so cute! It's funny how a book can become so deeply associated with what we were doing while we were reading it. I bet HP gives you extra happy thoughts--even more than the average reader! Good luck on finding a new series...I'm still looking for one that even comes close.
