#3 Dolphin Dives, Emotions when you realise your going to be a Dad, Pink Eye, Sharing is key and much more!

In this episode, it's the Weekly catch-up with the boys and diving into the flood of emotions of becoming a dad! Each of us shared the time that we learnt we were going to be a father, the emotions that come with that, the joy and the grief that comes with Ty’s story in particular. We love how Ty unpacks his story and how he dealt with the grieving process, dealing with the unknown and finding a positive reframe.  Moogy talks about his story and managing his emotions with parking spaces, while Pat shares his story of 'finding out' but being mindful of when he and Amber share the news. We talk about learning from each other, the miracle of falling pregnant, the stigma of miscarriages and dealing with the rollercoaster.
