I really suck at giving titles.

For the past weeks, I have been thinking about what to do with school since it's starting in less than two weeks and I have yet to come with a decision before things are official and papers are signed. My dilemma was; should I still do it knowing I will have to take months off in my third trimester and when the baby is born, and not knowing how I feel about going back shortly after the baby's here. I don't want to commit to something I might not be able to finish because that's something I am striving to really change. Granted that I'm not going to spend anything with the exception of the books and travel expenses as the government will pay for my tuition, I don't feel right taking advantage of that free money when someone else could take my spot and finish it on time.

When I first decided to go back to school early this year, it was a turning point in my life where I consciously took action to better myself. It was a promise I made to myself that I will take charge and stop moping around because opportunities don't come knocking on my door and for me to get somewhere, I have to take the steps. Language school was an alternative and a preparation until I can apply for university next year and study Psychology because by the time I decided to study, the program I wanted to apply for was already closed. Of course, like most good things, they come when you least expect them. Getting pregnant wasn't something I expected to experience at this point in my life when I had finally made choices to do something for myself. So now I have to reevaluate my priorities and weigh my options because I'm not only thinking for myself anymore. My top priority is getting through this pregnancy without any complications and devote my attention to the baby when s/he gets here.

I promise this blog isn't going to turn into a pregnancy one. I do have other things to share, it's just that this is going to be the highlight of my life for now and I don't have much energy to write as I'm tired and sleepy most of the time. Thank you for all your kind wishes, by the way. I intend to write my progress but, at the same time, write about everything else.

Speaking of, we went to Brussels 2 weekends ago for some much needed alone time away from home and it was great fun. I picked up my camera again and took lots of photos. I can't believe I barely touched it for a year! Shame on me. But yeah, that too will change. I'm inspired again and, since that well has been dry for a while, it feels great to get back into that mood. I really miss it. If you wish to see the photos, you can view them here. They speak for themselves and you'll see how we spent most of our time there.

Here are a few:

A big decision to make. Pray hard about it. By the way, I don't mind if your blog will evolve as mommyhood for a while. =)

Gorgeous photos ^_^ Aww, don't mind this blog turning into a preggy one. It looks like you have many open paths before you and you have decisions to make. Hopefully after reflection you will settle on the one best for you.
