Absolutely true!  There is something about becoming a mother that changes 
your whole outlook on the risks you are willing to take.  And MY mother told 
me, "Once you are a mother, you will always sleep with one ear open."  How 
true that is (at least for me.)  Even if my children are all adults with 
their own families, I still feel that sense of responsibility I had when 
they were babies.  Now my responsibility is to my husband, and what would he 
do without me?  He might starve......  He can't bake a pie! :-))
