Kyra just went for yet another weekly OB appointment and things continue to go well (knock on wood). The clinic has been checking her cervical length every week for the past 3 weeks to ensure there's no thinning which would signify premature labor. Her length has been >4 cm, which our clinic (and most others) consider normal for the second trimester. I wasn't able to go to this weeks appointment, but Kyra tells me the babies are doing well on U/S; they're all quite active with good heart beats.
As far as momma, she's been having a bit more difficulty. A couple weeks ago she began to have a lot of groin pain which seems to have subsided in recent days. Her "baby bump" has continued to get noticably larger with the occasional Braxton-Hicks contraction, which are normally seen in the second trimester and thought of as practice contractions. She's had a bit more difficulty getting around, bending over, and shortness of breath with exertion, which I'm sure will get worse in the coming weeks.
