NARRATOR: Coming up on “Little Women: LA”. Todd and I want to get our bodies into baby making shape. It’s like really gross. I have been talking to somebody. Where did you meet this person? Online. What if this guy doesn’t show up? I will be humiliated. I didn’t want to disappoint you.
It has everything to do with you being jealous of my relationship with Traci. It’s not. I’m not jealous. Yes, it does. I’m not talking to you, Todd. You can go suck a big fat [bleep].. [intro music playing] Yeah, take me away. Yeah, take me away. Show me something and make it good.
I’ve got a one way trip and I’m starting with you. So let’s go. Do what you say. Let’s go. Come on, I don’t know your name. Let’s go. All right, you ready to do this? – Let’s do it. I’m going to lose 50 pounds. You’re going to 50 pounds today?
No, I’m not going to lose 50 pounds today. Todd and I want to get our bodies into baby making shape. So we’re going to give cross fit a try, because we were really focused on losing weight for our wedding. 133.81. It’s almost five pounds. 283.4
We have the same sized skin as an average sized person. So everything’s bunched. So even if we lose weight, we have skin. Look. It stretches. You should see my boobs. They stretch out to here. Gross. Jump. There you go. Yes. Nice. Good. Exercise is really hard on our body.
We have the same bone mass and muscle mass. So everything’s really condensed. All right, stay with it, guys. We’re about two minutes in. We have the same size stomach as you average sized people. So yes, we are starving all the time.
If we ate as much as you, we’d be as big as houses. That was just the warm up. Are you warm? I’m ready to go home. This is exactly what we talked about. The healthier we are, the easier it’ll be to make a baby. Absolutely. So it’s not that bad right?
Yeah, It’s not bad at all. Keep telling yourself that. All right, what’s next? How about a youth refresher? I’ll take it. So I haven’t seen you since we got back from Burning Man. Well, I know. How was it? Oh, yeah. It was great. It looked fun. I’ve never been.
Opposite of myself, my parents are crazy hippies. They love to go to these wild festivals. And even though that’s not me, I’ve just have been so happy and thankful that they’ve been so supportive of me and Leiana through this whole divorce process.
I am very excited to tell my parents that I’ve met someone new finally. So how about you? What’s going on with you? It’s been a year since Leif and I divorced. I have been talking to somebody. Yeah? That’s good. How tall is he? 5’6. Oh, OK.
Yeah, so he’s not little, but he’s not tall. The difference between a short guy and a tall guy, basically, I feel more protected. And I’m not saying I can’t handle my own. But I love the embrace. I love just feeling like someone’s got my back literally.
And they could just do more things in other areas. Where did you meet this person? Online. How long have you been talking to him? A few weeks. I don’t know about this. You’re still my little baby girl. But meeting guys online? I don’t– My dad’s reluctant.
Because one of the main concerns for any little person meeting someone online, whether it’s a man or woman, is the fact that the average person can have a fetish, the curiosity. So that is something to be concerned about. But I think you can get to know the person well
Enough that you’ll find out really quickly. How old is he? Does he have kids and stuff? 38. He has two kids. He doesn’t live here though. That’s one negative. Well, he’s coming to visit tomorrow. What? I’m worried about how mom might take it. I’ve got mixed emotions about this. I worry about you.
You’re kind of gullible and naive that I worry about you. He just needs to understand that I’m not going to make any wrong choices. I am cautious. And I’m seeing what’s out there. This is just half a blindside, not a full blindside. Hey, girl. How are you doing?
Tonya and Terra are both coming over today. I’m glad Tonya got here first, because I really need to talk to her about something. Oh, [bleep]. I broke it. What? I broke it. OK, let me go get pliers. As little people, we can do everything that average people can do.
We just have to do it in a different way. Opening wine is not a little person problem. It’s a Tonya problem. Let’s push it in. OK, there we go. You can just sip it with a straw. No. Cork or no cork, it’ll taste the same. It was really nice that you invited [inaudible]..
Thank you. I’m sorry you fell a lot. But afterward, Christy took me aside and told me Terra told Elena that she was pregnant before the night she told all of us. I asked Elena, did you know about Terra being pregnant? She’s like, yeah. You mean she didn’t learn that night like everybody else?
No. Terra and her have been getting close. Do you think that Christy is just [bleep] and she’s just trying to [bleep] with your head? I wouldn’t put it past her. I think Christy is trying to stir up something, because she wants us to be closer.
But Christy said that Terra told Elena that she was pregnant before she even told Joe. That don’t even make no sense. I thought Terra was telling all of us together, all at the same time, that she was pregnant at the potluck. Who wants some delicious cupcakes? What the hell? True story, I’m pregnant.
What? What? Me and Terra has been friends for over 15 years. And now she puts us on the same level as Briana and Christy and then puts Elena ahead of all of us. [bleep] that. No, I’m her best friend. I’m her BFF. But why would she tell us in front of everyone?
How are you going to leave your girls out and tell these heifers that really don’t give a damn about you one way or another? They can care less. Speaking of, is that her? I think so. I’m not expecting anyone else. Hey, you look cute. Thank you.
I’m running out of clothes that fit me. So I invited both of you here to– You’re pregnant? No. I invited both of you here, because Christy, after the roller skating the other night, came up to me and said you told Elena that you were pregnant before you
Invited us over to your house and told all of us together. If it’s not true, then I’m going to approach Christy. But if it’s true, then I have words for you, because I feel we’re better friends. And we are. So is it true? It’s not entirely false and it’s not entirely true.
Bitch, is a true or false? Yes, it is true. I’m not saying that it slipped, because my every intention was to tell Joe first. But it was just like I wanted to get it off my chest and tell somebody. Because I was kind of like freaked out.
Why didn’t you tell me and Traci by ourselves? Why did we have to find out when [bleep] Briana and [bleep] Christy found out? Look, I’m sorry that I didn’t tell y’all before I told thing one and thing two. Right. I have to stand by Terra’s side through thick and thin,
Through her relationships, all her disappointments. And you would think that she would want to share the good news with me just like she shares the bad news with me. I was just announcing it. And I thought it would be nice to announce it in person. All of our schedules have been crazy.
So you didn’t think that we were going to be upset that Elena knew first? Honestly, I was not thinking when I told Elena. Well, now you know who can hold your secret and who can’t. I’m curious if I’m the fool in this whole situation.
Am I not as close with Elena as I thought I was with her? Because clearly I would have never gone and told somebody Elena had issues with if she told me a big secret. So why is she doing it to me? You should have come to us and said, heads up.
I’m just really sorry. I never meant to mess with this. Well, I accept your apology. I take it Traci will too. But don’t let [bleep] happen again. That’s all I have to say. I will try my hardest to always put you guys first. I never meant to mess with this.
I’ve been doing everything I can lately to get pregnant, watching my diet, tracking my ovulation, and knowing exactly when I can take a pregnancy test. Oh my goodness. This is everything I’ve ever dreamed of. I’m going to be a mom. What are you doing? Painting.
I was thinking this could go in the baby’s room. I feel like I’m overwhelmed right now with everything that’s going on, everything from pregnancy risks to a drama with the girls. I want to put that aside right now and do a little painting for the nursery to clear my mind.
Can we talk about the [? amnion ?] test? We need to make a decision before we see Dr. Jick again. I just feel that it may not be as helpful, because then I’ll just be stressed and I’ll be emotional. And I’m already emotional. Joe and I didn’t think that we were at risk
To have a double dominant child until our last doctor’s appointment. Even though we have two totally different dwarfisms, it’ll be considered double dominant? Right, because it’s an independent inheritance. The best I can tell you from everything I’ve read is I don’t think they’d survive. The amnion test checks for the genes
From both parents inside of the womb and it will tell you if you are having a double dominant child, or if it only inherited your gene, or if it inherited your husband’s gene. It’s not going to stress you go out not knowing? I think positive right now.
I’m thinking there’s a better chance of it coming and being average, [? acon, ?] or pseudo than there is of taking the dominant gene both of us. I’m lucky that I’m pregnant. I’m a little person. There’s so many risks that already come with me having a child.
So why would I want to go through an additional procedure to find out if I’m going to have– what type of little person I’m going to have? And to me, it’s like case closed. I want the child no matter what. And I’m not saying that there’s going to be other complications.
I don’t know. I think we both should sleep on it a couple more nights before the next appointment. OK. I am so, so excited to pick up my friend Matt at the airport. And considering that we met online six weeks ago, we haven’t met in person, I’m excited, but I’m very nervous.
I really feel that he’s genuine. And I feel that this is a good choice that I’m making to meet him. My heart is pounding. I can’t feel my feet. I feel like I’m floating. I’m starting I freak out a little bit. What if this guy doesn’t show up?
What if I’m getting catfished right now? I will be heartbroken. I will be humiliated. I will be devastated. I’m very nervous to pick up my friend Matt at the airport. What if he doesn’t show up? What if he decided not to go through with it? And I don’t know.
What if he’s nervous meeting me? And it’s just too much. So I’m just hoping that my parents aren’t right about this one. Hi. Hey. How was it? It was good. How are you doing? I’m good. I’m good. How are you? I’m great. Aw, he’s so cute. Thank you. You’re welcome.
You look amazing, by the way. Thank you. Gorgeous. I’m at a loss for words. It’s like that moment where you see someone and everything else just fades away. I’m excited to see where it goes. Yeah, it’s a lot nicer and more quaint than Seattle, let me tell you.
Eric’s coming home and I cannot wait to tell him the big news. But I’m a little nervous, so I actually wrote him a card. Honey, I’m home. Are you hungry? Oh, man. This looks really good. How are you? Good. Now that I think about it, hiding the card
Under his placemat was not a good idea. He’s never going to find it. I think there’s something under there. What the heck is this? My love, are you ready for the next chapter of– Of our lives. We were dating. Right. We got engaged. Yeah. We got married. No. And I’m pregnant. What? Seriously?
You took a test? I took eight tests. Eight tests? They’re all positive. My boys can swim? No way. Really? Yeah. What? I love you. I love you too. Does anybody else know? No. You didn’t tell your parents? I told you. Really? Yeah. Normally, I would jump to tell Terra about the pregnancy.
But after the Elena issue, I don’t know where our friendship stands. Hole crap. Are you ready for the next chapter? Yeah. You’re going to be a father. Oh my gosh. That’s awesome. I love you. So we are hopefully going to get something to eat? Oh, I really like your outfit, by the way.
You look really great. Even though we’ve only talked for six weeks, we have just met for the first time. I think both kind of like little schoolchildren. We’re more or less just happy. But we’re kind of like, oh my god, this is really happening. Are we really here?
This person I really care about is right there. OK, this is a [inaudible]. That’s all right. My feet don’t touch the ground either. Crayons. You want me to decorate music notes? It’s been so long since I’ve read music. You know your crescendos? So you go for it. Look at that. You’re good.
I like it. Music is my passion. It’s the air I breathe. The fact that we’re sitting there and he knows what a treble clef is and a bass, all this stuff, to me, it’s geeky. But it’s like my love language. I’m glad you made it. So am I.
Would you ever think of moving down here? I don’t want to freak Matt out and make him think that I’m moving too fast. But honestly, one of us is going to have to move for this to work. My daughter, she’s my priority.
And if you can’t move down here, I’m sorry, it’s a deal breaker. I would think about living down here, yeah. Definitely. If I found that person that completed me or made me feel like that, I would definitely move. I don’t have a problem with that at all.
Because that’s the one main thing in my life that I’m missing. This table is too big. It’s too big? Yeah, I’m too short, I can’t– it’s too bid. Look, look, look. Come on, I’ll tell you something. When Matt first kissed me, it was perfect. It’s sweet. It’s very nice. Hello, good morning.
We’re back at Dr. Jick’s office. I’m super excited to see another ultrasound. But I’m not as excited to discuss the amnion with Dr. Jick. Joe and I really haven’t been on the same page when it comes to the amnion. So it’ll be an interesting conversation that we have. All right. Everyone’s here.
So first thing, of course, is how are you? I feel overall good. So you want to see an ultrasound real quick? I would love to. OK, you get the warm gel. Not the cold stuff. OK, here is the head. That looks normal for 16 weeks. See the little butt and the legs moving?
He’s totally kicking, a little tiny butt. OK, and I actually just saw feet down there. Looking at the ultrasound, I’m scared about this decision, if we should go forward with the genetics testing or if we shouldn’t go forward. We talked a while ago about amniocentesis.
Do we have any kind of resolution on that? Best case, it’s the 75%. And then we have either a pseudo, an [? acon, ?] or an average. I’m OK with testing right when the baby’s born. We’re going to have it no matter what. I respect that.
Joe and I both understand that this child could be born with extreme health issues. But in my opinion, there’s no way that the child will be born with a fatal condition. So we’re going to have the baby. There’s no way around it. We want the child no matter what. That’s a big decision.
There’s a one in four chance of no mutation. Right. Oh my goodness. So I guess, I will see you in two weeks? For Four. Oh, four? High five. You’re healthy. High five. I only gained one pound. I was looking. I saw that. Hey, girl. Hi. How are you? How are you?
You look tired. You got that fresh [bleep] look. You’re smiling. What? What? Is your [bleep] sore? Wow. So is the average size? When you grab it, does it go to your elbow? It’s not like a foot long. Can you fit it in your mouth? I haven’t tried. What? OK, hi, Christy.
I know she can get vulgar. But holy hell, let up a little bit. You look happy. I am. I’m not lying. After my divorce, I honestly wondered if I would meet someone. I wondered if I would be happy, really genuinely happy to the extent that I felt it was true, and real,
And meant to be. We’re amazing together. And I think that with how happy I am, I know it shows. I see a future. I do. And I’ve never seen it like this with anybody. I’m kind of falling in love with him. Oh, god. She’s moving fast like I did.
But if he breaks her heart. So I want to meet him. When? I don’t know. When are you free? He’s here for a couple more days. Let’s have a barbecue. Let’s invite everybody. Let’s do it. Your parents will come. You’re going to invite my parents? OK, good luck with that.
My parents don’t really encourage the relationship, because it’s long distance and he has kids. They don’t want me to be the reason that he’s going to move down here. A majority of the average height parents in the little people community, they overbear, overprotect their little people babies.
And so I think Briana’s parents are like this. They are very protective over her. They’re not letting her live her life. I’ll invite them. And if they come, they come. And I’ll invite your sister. And if she comes, she comes. The past few days have been a whirlwind of baby planning with Eric.
And now I’m dreading him coming home. What’s going on? You all right? How was your day? What happened? What happened, honey? After you left this morning, I started having really bad cramps. And then all of a sudden, blood just went everywhere. I’m so sorry. I’m sorry. It’s all right. Are you OK, though?
I’m OK. I called the doctor and she wants me to come in and check my hormone levels and see if everything’s OK. I didn’t want to disappoint you. You were so excited when I told you. Honey, you’re not disappointing me. It’s all right. There’s nothing to be sorry about.
It has nothing to do with you. If the book’s saying it’s common, these things happen, or at least we know it can happen. I hope so. I know that miscarriage is not something that women like to talk about freely, but it happens no matter if you’re average or a little.
We’re in this together. I love you. I love you too. You’re the best husband. You’re the best wife. Listen, I love you so much. I’m glad we didn’t tell [inaudible].. What would you like me to do? Don’t touch. Don’t touch anything? Perfect. I’m good at that.
So Todd and I are throwing a shindig at my friend’s lake house. So excited. Briana’s going to bring her dude. And I’m not quite sure about him. I got to figure this one out before she falls in love. Isn’t this gorgeous? Absolutely breathtaking. Now this is freshwater, right? It’s lake water.
Which is freshwater. I don’t know how fresh it is. No, it’s compared to salt water. It’s not salt water. Not the ocean, which is salt water. It’s lake water. Which is considered freshwater. Do you understand what I’m saying? No. You really don’t understand what I’m saying? No, it’s lake water. So it’s freshwater.
OK. Who’s on first? I love you. When are people going to get here? I’m hoping Briana would hurry up. Is she coming first or is everybody going to get here first? I was hoping to meet her man before everybody else did. I wonder if this is the first time he’s ever
Been around a bunch of little people. That’s a dwarf friendly gate. Oh, hey. HI. Well. Hi. Matt, this is [inaudible]. It’s a pleasure. Great to meet you. Hi honey. How are you? Good. So you’ve been to a concert, and you’ve been to a comedy show, and to dinner.
What else have you been doing? What did I– why is everyone looking at me? She’s keeping me up late. She keeps me up late. I haven’t slept a lot. I knew you looked tired yesterday. I knew it. And she didn’t even wash her hair. I did too. You had dirty hair.
No, I didn’t. You had sex face. OK, maybe that, but I didn’t have dirty hair. I did not have dirty hair. Sex face. Slow down, Christy. Matt doesn’t know you like I do. And please, I don’t want you to scare him off. I kind of want him to be around for a while.
All right, you guys, can you cook, please? Yeah, I got to clean. Cook some meat. Clean the grill. Since we’re talking about meat, go cook the meat. Oh, here. Whatever, just because he did it. Come here. I want to talk to you. OK. Why are we running? Are your parents coming?
I don’t think they’re coming. Are you kidding me? Is it that bad? With my parents, you kind of have to like figure it out first and then show them that it’s working. And then they’re like, OK. The fact that my parents aren’t coming to meet Matt at the barbecue,
It is a big deal to me. I just want for my parents to see the same and know that I made a good choice. I am as happy as I’ve ever imagined I could be. It’s a short amount of time, but I don’t think that matters in the scheme of love.
I’m really happy. Good. Who cares what anybody says? No, I don’t care. I don’t care. Because I’m actually for the first time in my life, I’m happy. And you’re allowed to be. There’s people. People. No people. This is my boyfriend, Matt. So Briana’s calling Matt her new boyfriend.
I’m glad I brought everybody together. We can celebrate her new love. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hey, mama. Don’t you look cute. The cracks are rough on heels. Hi, I like your bracelet. Right now, I’m not feeling Elena. She opened her big mouth and now got Tonya and Traci up in arms with me.
So I just don’t know what to do about Elena. So is he circumcised? How do you know we’ve even had sex yet? OK, well, have you had sex? Yeah, he’s circumcised. OK, well, then you’ve had sex. So that answers both questions. Elena, can I steal you?
I hate to be that girl that pulls girls aside and is like, why you got to be telling on this? But I feel like there’s no other way for me to not tell Elena. I have to ask Elena, why in the world did she tell Christy that she knew first about the pregnancy?
Like, what the [bleep]? OK. Y’all keep talking. We’ll be right back. Blonde. Bye, blonde. Bye. Anywho. So I’m like– I don’t even know how to say this. Traci approached me in a sad, aggressive manner with Tonya regarding that I told you I was pregnant before I told them.
Traci told me that she heard it from Christy. Traci told me that she heard I was pregnant from Christy. So out of all people for you to confide in, I didn’t think that you would confide in Christy. What happened was that Christy told me that she misses me
And she wants to be friends again. And then she was like, by the way, you knew. Like, you knew. You knew. Maybe. Don’t tell nobody that I knew about her pregnancy ahead of time. Promise. I can’t believe I fall for Christy’s bull [bleep] again.
She definitely used me to get the information she wanted so she can start trouble between Traci and Terra. Right now, I’m sitting and I’m realizing that probably the fact that she called me and decided to meet with me was just to find out this. I am wrong for sharing this with her.
But I feel that she’s just a fake bitch. I did nothing wrong. I don’t feel necessarily that you did anything wrong. Because you didn’t go to her, she guessed it. But I do think it is [bleep] that she would go to Traci and flat out say that.
That’s exactly how I feel right now. I wouldn’t doubt that Christy had this whole planned out mastermind attack. Because she found out from Elena, then she goes and tells Traci. But why? What’s your point? What do you have to gain from this? I don’t at all blame you.
And I don’t want you to feel like you’re at fault, because you’re not. I just feel like Christy shouldn’t answer to why she would even try and start something with my relationship with the girls. I don’t know if here’s the right place. This is her event.
But I have to say something to Christy. They’re back. The blondes are back. Hi. Just in time. Tonight, I’m putting on a brave face. Because this is the last place I want to be. But Eric convinced me that being around friends and supporting Briana would be the best. No cheese veggie.
Yes, thank you. It’s a pleasure meeting you, Matt. Thank you. Now when are you getting married? Well, how close are we to Vegas? Matt, would you do the honor in lighting us a bonfire? Want to light a bonfire? I like fire. Light it up. Preston, would you help him? Definitely.
Let’s go down to the bonfire. You want to go down, babe? Where’s Joe? Joe? Leave it to Christy to make it virtually impossible for everyone to go down there. Joe has bad legs and it’s really hard for him to walk on sand. So he’s not going to be coming. Oh, that feels good.
Having it behind you. I do not want to ruin Briana’s bonfire party. But I have zero [bleep] interest in singing kumbaya with Christy. I need to handle this right now and squash it. All right, I’m having an issue, because I just
Felt like I was kind of duped by Christy going and telling Traci about yes, Elena did know first, inevitably, that I’m pregnant. It just kind of like– it makes me feel like you were trying to start something when there really wasn’t anything to start.
Or you were trying to like make her upset with me or show her I’m a horrible friend. And when I told Elena, it was like I was at a loss and I had been in a situation where I was struggling with what I was doing at the moment and I was scared.
This is high school [bleep]. You told this person this. You told this person this. I don’t like you. First of all, I really think that you are just very fake person. Just why did you even need to set up that meeting with me? Just get this information. I’m confused.
Which ones are your best friends? You just got what you needed. In Russia, we have the word predatel. That means backstabber. And that’s what Christy is. When I saw Traci crying, I wanted to nurture her Traci, not her. Because I thought– She was crying, because she was happy.
She wasn’t crying because she was pissed. She was crying because she was happy that I was having a child. I was praying for a lot of reasons. What was the other reason? You said a lot of reasons. Just because I was crying for a lot of reasons doesn’t mean anything.
Why don’t you let the girls talk? Why you got to keep butting in? I just don’t get it. How did you turn it and flipped it? I didn’t turn it and flipped it. I just went and told Traci. Even worse. And I don’t understand how you don’t see that this is totally
Your fault. It’s like the girls playing monkey see, monkey do. I have never felt so attacked from my friends ever. When I saw Traci, because I’ve known her for years, I cried all the way home. Not for happiness. Because I know how much Traci wants a baby
It is really hard to listen to them yelling about me wanting to have a baby when I just lost one. And I’m sorry if I stepped on your toes and you’re so mad at me. Go ahead. But I feel like I’ve done it before.
It has nothing to do with her wanting a child though. You’re not even thinking about the synopsis. It has everything to do with you being jealous of my relationship with Traci and you coming in– No. Yes, it does. I’m not talking to you, Todd. But I drove home with her.
I drove home with her. [interposing voices] You can go suck a big fat [bleep].. I’m not talking to you. Obviously you don’t. Let the girls talk. Why you got to fight battles for your wife? But who cares? You don’t stand up for your wife?
You’re a little bitch then if you don’t stand up– I’m a bitch? [bleep] you. If you don’t stand up for your wife, you’re a bitch. I’m a bitch? Matt’s just getting to me my friends and they’re already at each other’s throats. It’s totally embarrassing.
And I hope this fighting does not scare Matt away. Your wife is big enough to stand up for herself. She has grown ass woman just like you should be, a grown ass man. But you’re not. You’re a little five-year-old boy. Where’s your man? He doesn’t have your back.
And your on and off again four year relationship. I don’t know who the [bleep] Todd thinks he is. I have no clue. But Todd is constantly taking hits at Joe and I. And that’s not cool. Joe’s not here to defend himself. That’s how you talk to a woman? Stop it. Seriously?
That’s how you talk to a woman? Yeah. That’s how you talk to a woman? If she was a lady, [interposing voices] You talk to your wife like that too? I just said, I talk to ladies differently. This is uncalled for. Eric opened his mouth. Eric’s a big boy.
You’re the one that opened your big, fat mouth. You know what, Eric, shut my mouth then. NARRATOR: Next time on “Little Women: LA”. [bleep] Todd. Terra is just a bully. You make my heart smile. Why invite us to see you sing if you had nothing prepared?
It always has to kind of be about you. All right, sweetheart. I love you. Love you too. I would really love my family to just give him a chance. He doesn’t know you and he says he loves you. And that is a red flag. We’re done.
