Babby Day
Today is Babby Day, where we celebrate all the mothers and fathers who have brought life into this world. Life is a beautiful thing, and we haven't done anything to appreciate it - but now we will.
But first, before we get into what items and pets are available for today, I want to tell you something. In the first few months of Aywas existence, I came across a rant thread made by Springdragon. In it, he told the Aywas community that his cat needed an operation, and that he didn't have the money - so the cat was going to die. Upon seeing that, I decided to run an event to raise money for Springdragon so that his cat may live. By selling some custom-colored hybrids, we raised the money. Springdragon's cat is still with him, and Springdragon's life was changed by all of those who participated. Our community had the power to do this.
See, our site is not like the others. We read the forum threads and care about the people behind the accounts. One of our users, Dana, has kept the Aywas community informed of a tragic situation throughout the year and a half Aywas has been online - she has PCOS, a reproductive disease that kept her from conceiving. But months later, something amazing happened: with the right medical attention, she was able to conceive a baby, no matter how much it seemed she would not be able to. But her fight is not over. In rant threads, she has told the community there are financial problems in her life that will make her and her husband's life tough.
Just like with Springdragon, our community has the power to help her, as she has helped the community. Our goal, beyond all other things, is to help people. We are not a faceless company that only cares about money. We are a family, a community, and when one of our community members needs our help, and the time is right that we can offer it, we help.
Can we help everyone? No - we would go broke, and we would be unable to help anyone. However, if we can help one person, then we're reaching our goal. If we can help two, that is even better. In the future, we'll help three. Four. Five. Making a difference in the lives of a few people is a huge part of what we stand for. It is what makes us different. It is what makes our community special and caring. We are a family, and we help each other.
Today is about honoring the parents onsite. All of you are special, and have brought life into the world - or are about to, and that's a beautiful thing. We chose today for Babby Day, the day that Dana told the Aywas community she'd have her baby shower, but this day is about all of us.
We are releasing these special Baby Hybrid alternate linearts:
One costs $25.00 via PayPal, and upon submitting your transaction, you will get a Pacifier item to submit your custom. The customs are "metal-only," no lineart changes. Why is it cash only? Half of the proceeds will be given to Dana, to help her, like we did for Springdragon, and half of the proceeds will be given to the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Association, Inc. so that we can reach beyond our community and help as many people as we can, no matter how small our contribution may be. Anyone who purchases one of these customs will know they made a difference in the life of one fellow member, and in the lives of many unknown people that deserve their help.
However, as you may have noticed, this is not all we have released today. In the Seasonal Shop are a whole bunch of awesome new items and pets, available for BP:
Pretty pretty pets!
Some of the many awesome items in there, including maternity clothes!
In addition to this, if you visit the Advent Calender at any time today, you will pick up a Babby Bag. In it, you'll find an item to change your active pet randomly into one of the Baby Day pets (Babby Potion), a ticket to the twenty five Pacifier raffles (Pacifier Ticket), and a Derp Breeding Coin so you can submit for your own babbys. C:
Neat stuff inside!
If you are a mother or father who has brought a baby into this world during the time Aywas has (and will be) around, feel free to contact us for a Pacifier of your own. You are all special to us.
Today is a day for joy, and to celebrate life - and most of all, today is a day for hope... For any of you out there who struggle with PCOS or any other fertility problem, look at Dana and know that you can succeed. You can bring a new life into this world. There is always hope, no matter how bleak the situation looks. All of us here at Aywas offer you our best wishes and our support. You can do it.
Happy Babby Day!!

As someone else who suffers from PCOS and may never conceive, this makes me extraordinarily happy. Congratulations Dana, and thank you aywas for this wonderful and touching event!

Dana our hearts go out to you. Sweetevee(#529) also has PCOS, so we are familiar with the stresses and issues it brings. We were one of the lucky couples that did conceive as well. She has been undergoing holistic methods and diet control to keep the hormones in acceptable levels. We are very happy for you and your new family. keep the faith , it makes all the difference.

It's so amazing and adorable what this site does for people n_n and this day makes me feel a bit sad since I lost my baby and ever since I've had trouble with getting pregnant... it's been 2 years now since I lost him, but I'm glad for Dana :-) I hope your child grows up healthy and does good in school to get a great job and ends up happy and satisfied with his life

I have not met Dana yet but I want to say congrats on baby. I have had 2 myself. 2004 and 2010. It changed everything. My daughter loves this game and we play together. It is an over joyous feeling to be able to share with others I hope I can help Dana out.
And second note. I think this is a great way to celebrate every bundle of joy.
Happy baby day to all the parents.

Congratulations Dana on your pregnancy ^^ i remember seeing a thread about PCOS from you some time ago. The condition is in my family too, so i'm very familiar with the problems it causes. I'll probably donate later today or tomorrow when i can put some money into my bank account.
