Well, check check and check twell. Two. This is the two seventeen
Recovery Podcast with Corey Winfield, who knows as soon as he gives it to
her, he's gonna give her his heart to her too, and we'll have
kids and getting married. That's too far is May twenty four. My name's
Corey Winfield, and this is the two seventeen Recovery podcast coming to you,
recorded live from the room that has a couple of different names. And we
were thinking about this yesterday because it was called the Eagles Nest. I just
saidst yeah. And it's also called the crib and I called it I don't
remember, but yeah, it's the Eagles Nest in the home studio. In
the home studio. Yeah, and this is kind of where we're gonna broadcast
from for a minute. I think at least you will. Yeah, well,
the eagles nests came just isn't that what they called like the top?
I think that's what Hitler was in hiding out. Oh okay, well let's
not call that. How about that? Yeah, okay, it's not the
eagles Nest the chateau, oh the woods because our views of woods, yeah,
like out of our bedroom window, it's woods, but yeah, that's
what. Right, we're in our bedroom. We just called that bedroom studio.
Yeah, laying in bed right now doing a podcast, okay. And
the reason why we're doing that is because got a little baby here. We
do a little six ounce or six ounce, that'd be a small baby,
six pounds thirteen ounce little baby boy. He was born on Wednesday, the
twenty second of May twenty twenty four. At twelve twenty two. He's in
the twenty two percentile of whatever baby's or something. I'm not even sure what
that means. I hope that's good, and it's good. I know everything
about him is good. It'd be better if it was top ten, but
we'll take twenty two percentile. So yeah, I think his angel number is
going to be twenty two? You think so? Yeah? And should I
talk about the angel number real quick? We can get it over with sure,
for it all right? So Monday I was listening to the radio station,
the Ticket out of Dallas, my favorite radio station, and Gordon Craig
and George and Ron and they were talking about numbers, and Gordon said something
about he can he knows good at numbers. So Craig just threw out there.
Oh yeah, Gordon, then tell me how many days till Christmas?
And Gordon throughout like two point fifty and then George guests twenty eleven, which
clearly was wrong, and so the producer jumps on, He's like, hey,
actually that number is two nineteen and I was like what. And it
was just weird that I heard that on Monday, because Tuesday you were scheduled
to go in induce you and labor. Yeah, we had an appointment for
Tuesday morning, which was the twenty first. Yeah, at seven thirty we
were supposed to go, and then we got called and said just come later,
maybe maybe we can get you in today. They had that baby years
and we ended up going in at like ten forty five, I think is
when we actually got into the room, and then it was the waiting game
and it carried over un till twelve twenty two the next day, which would
make it two hundred and seventeen days until Christmas yep, which is the birth
of Christ. So I just thought that was pretty special and like, it
was just so weird to hear that and how it even registered, you know,
and they say when you see or hear the number two seventeen, because
that is clearly my angel number. Your angels are telling you that they're looking
out for you, you know. So I think that was a very very
good sign, even though it took a little longer and didn't go as expected.
He's beautiful, he's healthy, he loves to cry. He loves to
cry, just like his daddy. He lives whining. He goes something to
say, not sure exactly what sometimes, but he wants everybody to listen.
Yeah he does. And it's not even like anger or pain, is just
loudness and it's actually pretty endurable, but you know it's sometimes it's just like,
you know, there's no need for that. But he's a baby,
so he gets a little choked up sometimes, you know, just like his
dad. Yeah, so I think that's a good thing. And yeah,
the funny story that I know Mitchell and justin to seventeen staff are gonna love
and enjoy because I told him it will not happen to me. Technically it
did not happen to me. And they're laughing right now. They're listening.
They're going, yeah, we know, we know, we told you,
Cory, we told you. Because I say, he will not pee all
over me, Oh, he will, I say, he will not pee
all over me. I am too good for that. I'm too quick on
the draw. And I know he's a baby and he's a boy, so
you gotta watch it. Well, I think it was his first change,
and this was before the clipping, and so he just kind of was wet
and I was like, oh, okay, cool. I was protected by
that. Well. The other night, I'm sleeping and having all kinds of
great dreams about life and what could be. And I woke into and I'm
like, oh, okay, let's going on. And I noticed that you're
changing him in the bed right next to me. It's great. And so
I figured out we have a huge, mongous bed and where I'm at right
now to get him and take him to the changing table and his nursery is
absolutely ridiculous thought process because you know, I just went through some a major
surgery, so it's kind of like this makes sense. And we have all
the little changing items right next to us, so I've been changing them in
the bed. Yeah. So Parker was laid out, ready for his change
and ready for all the appropriate dressings and such they go along with his you
know, changing. We call it routine, you know, to make sure
he's healing right and everything. So the diaper was off, his wet diaper
was down, and Mama was doing the white meat of the poo poos.
And it is an instinct that the nurses told us that when he's exposed,
that if he does have to urinate at all, that's the time, that's
the time it's gonna happen. Anything left in his little tiny bladder, he's
going to get rid of it. I was like twelve or thirteen, maybe
I was ten eleven whatever. My little brother had changed his diaper, so
I learned that then yeah. Yeah, and he and he peeed all up
into the air like the perfect rainbow of peep. You see it that way.
It was just hilarious. It's real funny, No, it was,
it was. It was funny. It's just baby. It means baby pe
right, And he's like swimming pools, yeah, go ahead, Yeah,
he's mad, so like he's kind of like moving a little bit. So
it was like this like rainbow of like either just like it missed your head,
just missed your head. Oh, let me tell the story how it
went in my world. Not this magical rainbow pee which I mean maybe for
you because you're a woman. You don't get to this, like spray it
around this piano tree. You know, like you just made something different for
you. I don't know. You mean like there's a target. You mean,
yeah, you can naim it and hit stuff. I mean maybe you
could do that too, But just to have that control to just pee wherever,
you know, it's great. It's a beautiful thing. Love being a
guy. But no. So I wake up out of this beautiful slumber dream
of life of what could be, and I hear him crying where where where?
I'm like, okay, so you're changing them, so I'm gonna help
out. So half a sleep, I kind of roll over to him and
I just start patting his head to try to calm him down a little bit
because he hates his diaper changers. That probably because his peanis was just cut
on but here nor there. I am cresting him and I feel his blanket
wet up by his head, and I was like, wait, what,
Like, first there's slobber wet, and then like this is a different type
of wet, And I'm like, wait, why why is there water?
Why is it wet by his head? And as I start to turn to
you to ask why is there water by his head? I feel like something
hit me in the side of my head, like right here. And because
I have yeah, like boom right there, just and I immediately realized what
it was. But because I have short hair, it just bounced off.
It was the weirdest thing, Like it didn't soak into nothing, It just
bounced off, which is another miracle. Yeah, it was pow. It
was. I was like what And I realized it pissing my head. So
I was like, honey, you just pissed in my head. And I
look over man, he's free balling. He's out for the world. There
ain't nothing to try to catch, nothing to cover nothing. It's just like,
I'm surprised if I think. I think if I would have kept sleeping,
you just picked him up and pee on me, probably like oh,
you're going to sleep through this. You probably did it already. I just
don't know about it. Maybe. So I'm like checking pillows and like,
I'm like, well, I didn't see any on the pillow. I flip
it over anyway because I'm too lazy to change the pillow case. But I
didn't see any on the and I didn't seen it with thinking else. I
don't know. It was really weird, like how my head just repelled his
water. There's pe there you go his water exactly. It was an experience,
yeah, yeah, but he every day is an experience. Every minute
is an experience. Yeah. He likes to eat, he likes to poop,
He does not like his diaper change. He is awake every once in
a great while just to chill out, but not very often. And he's
crying and eating and pooping and showers. What are those? Yeah, I
don't know. A couple of days ago maybe like this is this is the
weird part of it because we didn't have everything put together, you know,
like the rocker seeds, the the little crip thing, because we didn't want
to put together too early because we had to fight the cats. Yeah,
and we were having things painted and there's lots of reasons. Yeah. So
it was just like, we'll put it together once we get him home.
And I did and we meaning him. Yeah. So it took a little
longer than Brownie too, but that's all right, and it's things are things
are structurally sound, I think with that, and I've been kind of doing
that and you've been, you know, taking care of him. But man,
the day's been flying by. You thought it was Tuesday today, yesterday.
I didn't know what day it was really until like later and I'm like,
oh, it's Sunday today, and you're like yeah, And I was
like, oh, you really, I thought it was Saturday all day.
Yeah, it's so weird. The sleep, Like if you're a new parent
or have been a parent, you know what I'm talking about, Like you
just kind of get it in when you can. And it's so cute to
see you and him fall asleep together. But they say you're not supposed to
sleep with the baby in the bed, which I get, like, you're
probably not going to roll over on them, honey. But the way I
thrash and roll around in the bed, that's what scares me. And it's
like, oh no, yeah. And yesterday I took him downstairs for a
couple of hours and I think it was a couple hours. I don't know.
Yeah, because I came down and you were you guys were in the
recliner. It looks like that's a final spot where you were able to get
him to probably not cry. Yeah, he was just going nuts last night.
And I realized this is a tip and this will be shared on the
Recovery Dad's podcast too, is if you're holding them, don't hold them like
you're going to breastfeed him, Like hold him in a different position because otherwise
he's like, all right, this is the position I get breastfit in.
Right expectations, Yeah, grab him by the ankles and just dangle him for
a couple of minutes. Just kidding, don't do that. That's not what
I did, but I did realize, like, let's sit him up a
little bit more. Let's put him on his back as opposed to like on
his side facing me, because that's his feeding position and on his back is
his sleeping position. So that's that's a free one for all you your parents
out there. I know I don't really have much resume here, but I
mean that's one thing that I learnt. And don't lay next to your wife
when she's changing diapers because they think it's funny if a baby p's on you.
He's just waking up just now, kind of. Yeah, he's a
cutie. We haven't really posted anything on Facebook or anything like that. My
sister was wondering when we were going to do that. I was like,
yeah, my mom puts something out. I think it's askolded my mother.
Yeah, I was like, don't be doing it. Yeah, I don't
think she's afraid to now because she knows, like we want to get it's
our privacy. If we want to share pictures, we can, you know.
Yeah, And if they want to share him amongst family members, that's
cool. But like, I don't know, I just have no need or
desire to put any pictures of him on Facebook. Not that he's not cute.
I mean he's cute as hell, but he's got little dimples too.
He does. He's about to make his entrance on the podcast. It looks
like because he's he's been quiet for way too long, we're gonna we're gonna
get it in. Here we go, I don't know, use my microphone.
He's calm. He's actually gonna calm him back down. He's like,
now I found my Now I found my fist. He likes to put his
Oh he went to grab it. No, okay, that's his first ever
podcast. Noise your debut, buddy. Yeah, I'm okay, you're okay
and m okay, let's not. I thought he had more to say.
He probably does, but I can probably pick him up and put him in
a position where he's not gonna be all right. Yeah, okay, So
anyway, all right, Martie's off the podcast at this point, so I
think I'll wrap it up, but we did want to do a check in
and just tell everybody that, you know, we are just kind of chilling
in the bedroom studio at this point, and life's good, and her little
baby boy, Parker Jonathan Winfield, was born and he's healthy. And this
is what recovery can do for you. You can find the person that you're
supposed to marry, you can have children, you can own a home,
you can be a productive member of society. It doesn't happen overnight. And
not everything's been easy, that's for sure. There's been their struggles, you
know, and I give Martie one hundred percent credit for not giving up on
wanting a child. Thought we were just going to have like eighty cats,
but you know, she was like, no, we're going to keep sticking
with this. And her dedication and her determination and her faith in God,
and my faith in God too, and my faith in her. You know,
it was just like all right, I'll just I'll be along for the
journey. I'll do what I can, but don't give up. You know,
if you have dreams and goals, you know, we're Marnie and I
both are good examples of how you can turn your life around totally. You
know, you could be in a place where you think this will never happen
to you. I mean we were both in that place. We never thought
this would happened. I never thought I would get married, have a beautiful
wife, a beautiful child. I never thought that. And to be able
to help others in the meantime and to give back, it's just been amazing,
it really has. So not saying if we can do it, you
can do it, because you probably have different goals and different dreams, but
they're out there, man, and they can be obtained. So don't give
up on yourself, that's for sure. And it's not the easiest. If
it was easy, then it wouldn't be that big of a deal. But
being in recovery is we wear it as a badge of honor. You know,
we've been through some hard times and we got through them and there's nothing
greater than that, and that's one of the greatest feelings you can ever have.
In life. So with that, I am gonna go put something together
because baby's crying. I found I found this out too. I was listening
to this comedian I know, I could never get off the podcast, and
she was talking about how when she pulls into her was it at the Cat
Williams thing? She pulls into her garage and she doesn't she doesn't just get
out of the car. She eats her sandwich and she just plays on her
phone for an hour. I kind of see where is this going here?
You know, I take my time cleaning up the kitchen now, yeah,
yeah, I made breakfast this morning, and yeah it took my time.
You know, I get it, starting to get it. But anyway,
thanks for listening and we'll talk to you later.
