Nine years ago today, M Hippie-middle-name Father's-last-name Mother's-last-name finally entered the world, a long skinny little thing with a head of black hair who immediately settled happily into her position at the center of the universe. She was nine days late, and only deigned to make her appearance after her mother had endured four days (and three sleepless nights) of useless pre-labor, thirteen hours of Pitocin, an epidural, and a C-section. By that point, it was a veritable party at the hospital: her dad and P were in the operating room, Aunt M and D were out in the waiting room, and Grandma was on the phone approximately once an hour. As soon as she arrived, it was clear to all involved that the world was a better place. Though the world is not a very good place at all these days, her presence still makes it that much better every single day.
Happy Birthday sweetie! I love you for always and forever!
[And you know, M loves to read about herself in the blog, and she would so so love it if she went to read her happy birthday post in the blog and found lots of happy birthday wishes in the comments...]
[How's that for shameless comment mongering?!]

Happy Birthday M! I have an M too, she will turn 8 in July. Your scavenger hunt sounded way cool. I love reading your mom's blog, she is an excellent writer and one smart cookie. I hope you have a great day, and a wonderful year.
Happy birthday, M! Em? Emme? Did you know there was a band named M back in the 70s? Or, more correctly, a singer? Tell your mom to play you Pop Muzik sometime. It's not a very good song but it's funny and it makes sense for 1979 (I know, way WAY before you were born, but which was, incidentally, when I was just about 9 myself).
Love, Sandra (the Laura Ingalls Wilder person)
Happy happy happy (as we say in our family). You are a super-cool, fabulous kid and I love you. L says, "I wish you special things like ponies and fairies." My E says, "Happy birthday. See you soon." We all wish you a year of happiness and cake and swimming and books and beaches and camp and all good things. Love, aunt s/z
Thanks everybody for wishing me a happy birthday. M
