94. Keep weight under 140 - not really failure

I'll be red on this one for probably a year. Today I went over my normal weight max (pre-Gwen weight), but hell, I'm 4 months pregnant with twins, so it is what it is.

37. Make healthy meals 4 times per week (10/572)

Tuesday - ate out
Wednesday - leftovers

New item #105

I'm stealing one from Jenna, read some of the books on the top 100 book list (that I haven't already read).

28. Take pictures every week (19/143)

I have no idea how many weeks we have been doing this, but I think I have taken pictures every week. Since they starting building the house we have at least been going to check it out on Sunday and take a picture of it and me - both of us getting bigger.

51. Get pregnant - with a boy (complete 4/28/08)

We had a 16 week ultrasound on Monday and they did a full anatomy check on everybody. After about 30 minutes of measuring the head, stomach, heart, arms & legs they told us Baby A is a GIRL. She is healthy and has all her fingers and toes. 25 minutes later they told us Baby B is a BOY! Hoozah! We got our boy! We are mostly happy that they are both looking healthy and growing on track. I had been reading internet garbage for the past two weeks and it was starting to freak me out, so it was very reassuring to get confirmation that they are O.K. But really, John did a little happy dance when we got the elevator. So, I can cross this off my list now.

9. Go to church once a month (3/33)

I have not been doing well on this list item. I am extra motivated now though, we have to get these twins baptized and I'm not flying to Michigan to do it. So now we have to go to church more often. We went to 11 o'clock mass on Sunday and it actually went pretty well. We were lucky enough to have a baby sit in the pew in front of us, and that captured Gwendolyn's interest every 20 minutes or so. We also went through 3 snacks and had the pacifier and books handy. I think it was much easier in the general population area than in the crying room. We will definitely go again now that we had a good experience with Gwen (Christmas was NOT fun). I went today and bought some kids religious books that we will only take to church with us, so they will be new and interesting for her.

22. Read 2 Oprah's book club books - reluctantly in progress

I bought Oprah's most recent book club selection A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckart Tolle. She really brain washed me on this one. I can already tell I am not into it and not "open" to the whole idea, but I will push through and finish the darn thing. I feel like I"m reading a book for school.
