In tonight’s 7 Little Johnstons episode, it was all about the new baby tonight. Elizabeth and Brice have a brand new baby girl. Her name is Leighton. She’s beautiful. She’s also average size. She was the first average size baby in a long time in that family. Elizabeth had to get a c-section and so they stayed in the hospital for a few days.
Only now they get to go home with her. They thought they were prepared for that and they weren’t. It was hard those first few days. The new parents constantly had to get up to be there for the baby. Brice was quite a grouch. He was used to his sleeping in and so him waking up several times in the night brought out his “turd” side. And he happens to think his own baby doesn’t like him.
Leighton calms down when Elizabeth holds her. She just cries when Brice holds her. Brice thinks his baby doesn’t like him and he doesn’t know why. He even theorized that the baby might not be used to be so high up when he walks with her. He was tall while Elizabeth was a little person.
Leighton loves being held by her mother. It was just her father she thought was wrong. He might have been right about theory because Leighton didn’t mind her maternal side of the family. They’ve all held her and she’s been with the rest of them.
Elizabeth often goes to her mom for help. She, Brice, and the new baby moved in with her parents. It was just a temporary thing. They had to leave their old place in a hurry.
Then the baby came along and they didn’t have time to find somewhere else. Luckily, they still had Elizabeth’s parents. Her mom was great help with the baby.
Amber was happy to be Nana. Trent was Boppa. They were almost empty nesters when Elizabeth moved in with her family. Jonah moved back in as well. Amber and Trent now have to find a few minutes here and there to be with each other. Which couldn’t have come at a worse time.
The couple were celebrating their twenty-fifth anniversary. The kids wanted to do something special for them. They came up with a huge event celebrating their many stations in life.
From when they were a family of three with Jonah. To when they put Elizabeth and Anna in matching outfits. Then when they adopted Alex and Emma. The kids were putting everything together and it was going to be a surprise for their parents. Trent was too busy trying to get quality time with his first grandchild to realize that the kids were planning something.
Elizabeth didn’t want to turn to her parents for help at first. They felt she deliberately waited until she was twenty-one weeks to tell them she was pregnant because she didn’t want to be judged.
They now feel like she wants to prove to them that she could do it on her own only she did need help. Brice had to return to work. He used up his paternity leave. Elizabeth was also still in school. She wasn’t talking too many classes, but she couldn’t do it all and she eventually realized that. And she started accepting help more and more as time went by.
Trent watches the baby when she uses the bathroom. She gets her mom’s help when the baby constantly wakes up in the night. Leighton loves to sleep during the day and she’s awake all night.
She was cute. She was also a party pooper. Somehow the kids managed a surprise party in spite of the new baby. They pretended to their parents that they weren’t going to do anything for their twenty-fifth. They waited until their parents went out on a date to decorate the house. Then Jonah interrupted the couple’s lunch to blindfold them.
He drove them back to the house. He gave them a map of the path they were supposed to take inside. The kids even roped in their Uncle Andrew to remind the couple of when they first met at the LPA event.
The stations of their lives was the sweetest part. The parents were in tears by the end of it. They love their lives together. They didn’t even mind that they’re grandparents on their twenty-fifth anniversary. They had five great kids. They had a great family. And they were going to keep growing as family.
What a great way to kick off their fifteenth season.
THE END!
