I also tune out the TV so I'm not surprised at this. Babies definitely have their own schedules and like wizards are never late, nor are they early. They arrive precisely when they mean to.

I remember taking my first born home and being left home alone with him and thinking OMG SOMEONE THOUGHT HOW AM I GOING TO KEEP THIS CREATURE ALIVE! He's 7 now and I guess he's still alive so I'm doing good at least? My youngest is 4 and I am now terrified of babies. <br /><br />I love audiobooks but recently I haven't been able to listen to many audiobooks like before because my mind was wondering so much. But honestly audiobooks are amazing for when you are cleaning the house. <br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful March!!<br /><br />Tina@<a href="https://astoldbytina.net/2019/03/previously-on-february-2019-recap.html" rel="nofollow"> As Told By Tina</a>Tina @ The Cactus Jefahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00983152545111315101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-21819213515443379482019-03-09T16:41:04.901-07:002019-03-09T16:41:04.901-07:00What did you think of Shadow of the Wind?What did you think of Shadow of the Wind?Esther @ BiteIntoBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00521908679162311172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-29942736863618209292019-03-09T10:03:00.165-07:002019-03-09T10:03:00.165-07:00Congrats on becoming an aunt!

Tiny humans make me nervous. <br />I listen to a lot of audios now, and I used to have a big problem with losing focus and having to go back a bit to figure out what I missed. I still do it on occasion where I am distracted or tired, but not nearly as much.

You could definitely convince people NOT to have kids. LOL! Your description of your niece is hilarious. If a story is too complex, I lose my place when listening to it on audio. I mostly listen while I am doing something else, so I really focus on contemporaries, which don't have complex worlds to keep track of.
