Six years ago tomorrow (Tuesday) our Miss Maya Mouse made one hell of a dramatic entrance, right there in the back seat of my car in the taxi stand of the local hospital, followed by an ever-so-delightful life-threatening episode of polycythemia and several days in the NICU (caused by the hospital staff's panic at her birth, but that's a story for another day, or perhaps another year - she's fine now but I still have some processing to do before I can put it all down on paper), and ever since she's been setting her own agenda.
.Her path has had more twists and turns than most but she's reaching for the stars, climbing higher and higher each year and taking our hearts, and our breath, away right along with her.
.Happy birthday beautiful girl, mommy loves you all the way up until space.

Happy birthday Maya! She is a great source of hope for me (as you know). And her birth story is by far the most incredible one I've ever heard!
Lots of good reasons to celebrate this birthday and how wonderfully it has all worked out. Happy Birthday Maya, may you continue to grow and shine in every way!
Sounds like Mom and six-er old have many reasons to celebrate. Hope she has a fabulous day!

Happy Birthday to Maya the Mouse!
I hope your daughter has a very happy birthday. And I thought my daughter's birth was dramatic (24 years ago) but your experience makes my labor and delivery seem tame.
Happy birthday Maya! You are such a strong girl, you need to celebrate your birthday every year! Wish you happiness always.
How wonderful that she's so healthy and energetic today. Lovely photo ... wishing her a happy birthday!

Happy Birthday to Maya! I didn't know she's made such a dramatic entrance into this world. Amazing, she was in such a hurry. Glad she recovered, and also glad that this past year has found her reaching for the stars as well!

And thanks for the visit, Robin. I'm not ready for winter, either!
Happy birthday, beautiful girl. It's a huge strength to know how to fight for you place like you had to in the beginning.
Robin, happy birth day to you. She's a miracle and I know when you are ready you will process all that happened.
Happy birthday, Maya! Hoping to meet your mommy on Saturday night!
Happy Birthday Maya,
My daughter was born 28 years ago yesterday and we also had a bout of polycythemia which was really scary. She's fine now and is herself a mother of a beautiful baby girl. Looking forward to meeting your mom on Saturday night (and Baila too).
It must be something about the date Risa, how odd, two identical birthdays (though 22 years apart) and both with polycythemia.
I'm looking forward to meeting both of you as well :).
Good heavens, that child has been full of surprises hasn't she? I love birth stories. How we came into this world says a lot I think. I feel you on the need to process a scary and complicated birth. I have one that still makes me shiver and want to hide too. Happy birthday lovely Miss Maya!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAYA! (even though I know I'm waaaaay late). I've followed your stories of this one for almost a year now, and she is indeed a wonder.
My dad's birthday was 10/13/32, and just being born in eastern NC during the Depression was a complication.
