Klutzy in the Kitchen

Is anyone else cutting or burning themselves in the kitchen?

I spend a lot of time in the kitchen due to having my husband and two older daughters (3 and 5) to feed....but it seems for the past week everytime I have been in the kitchen I have harmed myself in some way.
Today I was cutting greens and meat tfor lunch and cut my thumb and last night (home alone I decided to make a pizza) burnt myself with the pizza sauce (to the point where it actually blistered)

Is it just me or maybe, should I just stay out of the kitchen and just feed everyone lunch me and raw fruits and veggies ;) lol

It has been a joke around my house the past month...I haven't hurt myself yet but I'm always dropping things and have burnt several things lately. Its so out of character for me so my daughter and my husband joke about having the fire extinguisher ready.

I can't remember where I'm driving.  I was driving to class this morning and went to the other end of town before I realized what I was doing.  That prego brain can get you man! (Not telling hubby about that) he'd never let it go.

I think pregnancy effects cooking abilities. I have never burn anything until this pregnancy. My husband has went and bought me new cookware bc I burnt so many of my pans. I always joke with everyone and say my daughter will be an amazing cook bc she has stolen all my cooking abilities.
