So when you become pregnant, all of a sudden there are all these things you "can't" do anymore. Most of which appear to be bullshit, in my opinion. Like all the food restrictions against soft cheeses, deli meats, sushi.. etc.. You can eat whatever you want, just don't get food poisoning and make sure the cheese is pasteurized.
Or the part about not taking hot baths anymore.. The actual goal is to avoid raising your body temperature too high.. but I don't want to spend too much time ranting about this. I want to talk about the really dangerous thing I just realized I have to stop doing.
I can no longer boil eggs unsupervised. Turns out that my concentration is so bad these days, that I once I set the pot of water to boil on the stove, I forget about it. I've tried twice now, and each time I've wandered back into the kitchen to find an almost empty pot simmering the last inch of hot water into the air.
dang! who knew!

I don't even need to be pregnant to forget about the boiling water on the stove. The worst is when I forgot about eggs and water on the stove. Thank goodness a lid was on is all I want to say on that subject matter.
