Having successfully passed Y154, and regained a little of my sanity into the bargain, it was on to the next step with M150 - Data, Computing and Information.
Oh yeah - did I not mention I am a bit of a geeky girl? I discovered an enthusiasm for computers and making stuff work automatically a couple of years before this. So this was the beginnings of 'maybe get some formal IT qualifications so I can move on from the job I hate'.
Having just begun the course..you can of course guess what happened next - having stopped focusing on getting pregnant, planning other things to take up our time for the next year, and thinking about a fabulous holiday - we then discovered I was pregnant. And this time round it stuck.
I think the stress of assignments etc helped take my mind off the stress of the pregnancy a little. And I adored programming and watching the code make things happen on screen. Finally a niche that I fit in!!
So I went off on maternity leave, finished my final assignment in the June, and gave birth to Phillip in July 2006.
So no more studies for a short while, as we adjusted to all the other new challenges we'd been sent. But definitely not the end of the journey...
