7 Little Johnstons' Liz Was 'Relieved' to Have 'Tall' Baby, Hopes People Are 'Kind' When She's 'Taller Than Me' (Exclusive)


'7 Little Johnstons' star Elizabeth 'Liz' Johnston exclusively tells PEOPLE that she was 'a little bit relieved' to discover her baby would be average height

On this season of 7 Little Johnstons, Liz kept her family members waiting with baited breath before sharing whether or not her first baby with her boyfriend Brice Bolden would be born with dwarfism. Before the 21-year-old reality star announced that her daughter — who she later named Leighton Drew — would grow to be average height, her parents Trent and Amber Johnston had their fingers not-so-secretly crossed for another little person to join their family. Though her parents were "rooting for a little person with this being their first grandchild," Liz says Amber and Trent were still equally as "thrilled" to hear that Leighton was a "happy and healthy baby."
