So, long story short, using the abdominal ultrasound, she is breach and her legs are crossed so she was being difficult (big surprise, right, lol), and we almost didn't get to see what she was...omg...4 more weeks of waiting!! No way! Dr.S was having to do a little exam on me (due to the bleeding), and since she was down there anyway I asked her if we could try the vaginal ultrasound, to see if we could see anything differently. She said of course, and when she went in, Baby got really wiggly and the mouth really moving. Dr.S said she didn't like being poked in the bottom, hehehe. But! It paid off! We got to see her bottom!
Dr.S said she saw a bit of fluid in my cervix, that it is 4cm, and that the placenta is thickest between baby and my uterus, so I may not be feeling baby kick or move because of that. She didn't see any infection, and didn't see any reason for the random bleeding, so she is going to send me to an Ultrasound Specialist-who is also a high risk pregnancy doctor-and have him look at me and baby. He'll make sure baby is measuring right (size and such), the fluid looks good, baby looks okay, and see if there is any reason he can find for the bleeding. I will keep updated on how that appointment goes. On the plus side of that, the specialist will most likely be able to tell me for certain that baby is a girl and maybe give me a bit better picture (for those out there that didn't quite believe it! ::laughs::).
Now! On to pictures and updates!
This picture looks exactly the same as Week 14's did...I mean exactly...so I didn't color code it, because it'll be the same as Week 14's.
This picture shows the heartbeat (at 148bpm), and her little bottom!
This picture shows her girly bits, color coded. Pink=girly bits, Red=body, Green=legs
Babycenter.com: "How your baby's growing:
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place."

Thebump.com: "As your growing uterus starts shifting your center of gravity (belly forward, bottom out), hormones are causing your ligaments to relax and joints to loosen. The result? Back pain and soreness. On the bright side, if you want to know baby's gender, this might be your first week for a sneak peek. Baby's become amazingly mobile (compared to you, at least), passing the hours yawning, hiccupping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking, and swallowing (and griping about being poked in the butt, hehehe). And baby is finally big enough that you'll soon be able to feel her movements."
Babiesonline.com: "Your baby is growing rapidly. His bones are continuing to harden and the pads of his fingers and toes are formed. He also is developing his stomach, intestine and colon and the intestines are collecting meconium (the initial stool a baby will pass after birth). The skin is still a bit pink and transparent. The four-chambered heart begins to build up muscle cells and is pumping between 25 and 30 quarts of blood per day."
