knock you butt(er) naked brownies!

i have made

{knock you naked brownies}

courtesy of pioneer woman

many times

and trust me they are delicious!

but tonight

after making them

and having some left over ingredients

and some other ingredients

i decided to be creative

without further adieu 

i present you

"knock you butt(er) naked brownies"

let me explain the butter

i used 

reese peanut butter pieces

in lieu of chocolate chips

pretty creative huh?!?

another change i made:

i used duncan hines

triple chocolate fudge

and 

added 

hershey's chocolate syrup

i'm not craving chocolate or anything!

the steps are exactly like pw's recipe

so

you will need 

1/2 cup of melted butter

evaporated milk

cake mix

be creative here folks!

then i added just a drizzle of chocolate syrup

mix it all together

put half the batter

in a 9x9 greased pan

pop it in the oven at 350 for 8-10 minutes

while that's cooking

take your caramels

unwrapped of course!

add it to 1/2 cup of evaporated milk

and melt

in a double boiler

once melted pour over your 

half of batter baked mixture

sprinkle your reese's pieces

we just bought halloween candy 

so i used that 

it's not stealing from kids

it's being resourceful!

then add the other half of the batter on top

pop it back in the oven

for 20-25 minutes

let cool

then 

sprinkle with powdered sugar!

then 

enjoy

your

knock you butt(er) naked brownies!

i have a what?!?

i've been wanting to post 

for a long time

but 

my sister was here
then we went back to school

and 

i only had one thing 

i really wanted to post about

and 

i told my husband i would wait...

but it was soooo hard
rewind to august 4
by persuasion from kenneth
i bought a box
peed on a stick
and saw

then 

kenneth bought me these

notice they are non gender specific?

then the doctor 

gave me this 

along with the news

that 

i might be high risk

excuse me?!?

can't you just call me special?

so

after crying 

for days

and thinking

what was wrong with me

i got more of

 these

and after waiting

what seemed like forever

i found out

that i have a 

{septate uterus}

or 

possibly 

a

{bicornuate uterus}

they aren't quite sure because 

my uterus has already started to expand

because i got a baby in there!!!!

both conditions happen in only 20-33% of women

and what it means

is my uterus is split

tmi?

well stop reading

i'm trying to be honest and real

and

provide support for those who went through

or may be going through

the anxiety driven weeks i've been through

what does this mean for the baby?

it means

i am at a slightly higher risk to deliver preterm

(before 37 weeks)

i more than likely will have a c-section

due to a breech or transverse baby

and

i will get to see my doc

alot more than any pregnant woman would want to!

but i'm excited about more pictures and more chances to hear my babies heartbeat!

go ahead and dr. google the terms!

it will scare you to death

it did me

now

breathe

and 

try to remain positive

we are!

my baby has a strong heartbeat

fluid levels look great

and 

the doc said overall my pregnancy is looking 

good

now

as i always promise to do

and fail multiple times

i will post more

especially since i know i am not the only one who has this condition

i am not considering myself high risk

just

special

my favorite ultrasound shot 

because you see the heartbeat too!

keep us in your prayers 

and all my other pregnant friends out there!

that we will welcome 

a

healthy baby boy

or girl

not much earlier
