Did Audrey say more than "Congrats!" which is all Tori said when Radley was born?  Inquiring minds want to know.

Anyone care? Crickets…

I hope Tori doesn't aspire to be the Michelle Duggar of the dwarf world.

This is what Tori’s picture looks like tagged:

I'm sorry I sound like a broken record, but man has she got her hands full. 

Does Tori have siblings? What happens when her parents get older and may need help? 

I hope Tori stays strong and healthy. I really do.

 

Is this part of the desire to have a non LP child? 

 

[all4mom2]

She's hellbound and determined to have  a "mini-me" (average-size daughter), but has also mentioned wanting seven dwarfs; you know, like Disney's Snow White (she's obsessed with all things Disney) and is also friendly with the "19 Kids" folks.  Tori doesn't seem to be most mature or practical person around... 

She has one brother, but he's never mentioned or shown; as I recall, he's had/been in trouble with drugs, so I doubt he'll be much help when it's time for the adult children in the family to undertake caregiving.  

I hope Chris likes lots of kids milling around everywhere...  The grandchildren are starting to pile up!!!

Tori should not count on anyone to step up and help her, family or not. Her kids are her responsibility!

I was referencing the adult children (Tori and her brother) caring for their parents as they age -- in addition to however many dwarfs she's popped out by that time with their multiple special medical needs.  No doubt they'll find a nursing home...

[EllaWycliffe]

Has she asked anyone to take responsibility for her children?

At last check, Tory's parents were well. Also, getting an elderly parent into a nursing home is often the best choice for care. 

[all4mom2]

Aging parents often have multiple health issues and require low-level assistance long before they're ready for nursing homes.  I believe Amy's father has another daughter either living with him or acting as that family caregiver.  He's fortunate.

I don’t know about anyone else’s parents, but mine couldn’t wait to be with my kids and spend as much time as possible with them. I understand that not all grandparents feel that way, but some do. 
 

As people live longer and with more complex medical needs, nursing home care is sometimes absolutely necessary for health and safety. 

[Absolom]

It isn't just skilled nursing facilities, there are independent living facilities, assisted living, and memory care to cover all the various levels of assistance and care that aging people might want or need.   I'm almost at the end with my last parent and have used almost all of the above along with in-home care in their home and also in mine.  Sometimes you have to keep changing services to adapt to how much help they need.  Tori will hopefully have access to all the resources she needs when that time arrives, but it's likely at least a couple decades away.  

A lot of grandparents really enjoy their grandkids.  Some of us schedule our lives around them a good portion of the time.  We don't get to see the majority of family interactions so it's possible Tori's parents spend a lot of time with the kids.

Folks, 

Let's stay on topic.  No one is heading into a nursing home at this time.

Congrats.  I love this family and I am so happy for them.  Here's hoping that this time Tori has an average size child; this way she won't be the only average size person in the house.

You can bet she won't stop until she does (specifically, a "mini-me" average-size daughter) -- if then!

[ginger90]

[EllaWycliffe]

I think they look a lot more alike now. 

[all4mom2]

I know SEVERAL young mothers who use that "bean" thing. 

It's annoying.

And where are her glasses - again?

Is Lila talking yet?

[Endora]

No party?

[iwantcookies]

Jackson owned the place !

[ginger90]

They go all out on cakes even for just them.  They really go overboard must have plenty of money to burn.  

[chenoa333]

Are there any statistics about the chances of a dwarf and his normal size wife ever having a normal size baby? Tori isn't going to stop til she gets her normal size baby girl but how many dwarfs can TLC afford to support? 

[EllaWycliffe]

Its 50 percent when an achon is married to an average height woman. The gene is dominant. If they were both little people, it would still be 50 percent, but there would be a 25 percent chance that both parents pass the gene and the child dies soon after birth - you see achon couples on other shows discussing the lethal combo. Two achons having a child only have a 25% chance of having an average height child. Since Tory doesn't have the gene, they have no risk for the lethal combo, and a 50 percent chance each time they have a child of it being achondroplasic. 

Amy and Matt actually had the same odds and got more average height children than the odds say they should. 

[all4mom2]

I can't remember the exact figure, but saw a YouTube video about their new million-dollar house in which they stated how much Z&T (separately) get paid per episode...  It's A LOT...

Thanks, Matt!!!

Plus, it said, Zach "officially" works on the farm part-time and gets paid for that (do they give tours year-round and not just during pumpkin season?  I would think there would be a demand for it among their fans), and Tori supposedly makes a bundle from her "influencing."  The YouTuber ended with, "And so, even though neither one of them has a legitimate job, they're doing very well" -- just by virtue of being Roloffs, apparently, and I'm sure Amy and Chris ROLOFF are, too...

"Girly"?  Ugh!

Good grief; you'd think she was royalty.

Tori is going to look just like her mother and grandmother.

Bet Amy loves being called a "granny."

Makes sense considering they're related. Both the grandmother and great grandmother look lively and alert. A little portly but the metabolism does slow once you hit sixty.

I wonder how much she spent on cakes alone along with that big giant birthday decoration display?  They are ridiculous.

Did they also hire a photographer?  Lots of young mothers do that these days, too.  Tori was always very "spendy"; wonder what frugal Zach thinks of all this?
