Little Women: Terra's Little Family

In a series of firsts, Terra and Joe adjust to their life with the baby at home. The new little parents are exhausted and together they face many challenges, from breastfeeding to giving the baby her first bath. Joe and Terra also take the baby to her first pediatrician appointment to help understand the challenges their daughter may face.

Terra worries about having to take Penny to see a neurologist and struggles with her new role as Mom. Joe hopes a visit from his cousin Sonny will lend a helping hand, but after their task to buy a car becomes an afternoon at the bar, Terra realizes she may need professional help.

Terra still doesn’t fit into any of her pre-maternity clothes and convinces Joe to make a get-fit pact. While working out, Joe reflects on all the surgeries he endured as a child and hopes Penny’s impending genetics test results won’t reveal a similar fate.

Terra and Joe receive the long-awaited news of Penny’s genetic test results. The exhausted new parents prepare for a Sip n’ See party they’re hosting for friends to meet Penny. Will the main topic of conversation end up being about their baby or the guest who wasn’t invited?

The pressure is on Joe to succeed at his first Mother’s Day. He wants to pamper Terra, but that isn’t his only challenge. Penny requires 24-hour care and an exhausted Terra begs Joe to watch Penny all by himself for the afternoon. Will this Mother’s Day be one to remember, or one that sends Joe to the doghouse?

Joe’s family visits and Terra storms off from a family dinner when the conversation escalates into a heated debate about religion and how they plan to raise Penny. Tension remains between Terra and Joe during their first family photo shoot and tears are shed when Joe and his mom have a heart-to-heart about Joe’s deceased father.

Terra and Joe are startled by some troubling news about their neighborhood and decide it’s time to amp up home security. Terra rallies for the dogs to return home and Joe purchases a weapon without consulting Terra. Meanwhile, Terra and Joe struggle with a difficult medical decision as Penny’s vaccination appointment nears.

Terra’s brother Bourn comes to visit and the absence of Terra’s mom is more noticeable than ever. The new parents try to enjoy a night out, but concern over Bourn’s babysitting skills cuts dinner short. The three scheme a way for Terra’s mom to finally meet Penny and decide on an impromptu trip to Texas, but Grandma is not one for surprises.

Terra’s mom hates surprises, but that hasn’t stopped Terra and Joe from taking Penny to Texas for an unannounced visit. The family celebrates Penny’s one-month birthday and a thunderstorm forces Grandma to abruptly leave the party and tend to her dogs. Terra is left disappointed and wondering if her mom will even make it to the upcoming wedding.

Terra and Joe hire a no-nonsense nanny and Penny gets an MRI that could change everything.

Terra gets herself ready for romance while she struggles with Joe to set a date for the wedding.

Terra and Joe’s wedding planning has just gotten into full swing when the couple receives some unexpected news about their daughter Penny’s health.

Joe struggles to physically keep up with Terra as she scrambles to pull off their last minute wedding. Will their new wedding planner save the day or will the couple be forced to realize that their dream of a summer wedding is unrealistic?

Joe’s MRI reveals a frightening prognosis for his future and Terra stresses over finally having to announce who her Maid of Honor will be without ruining any friendships.

The little family arrives in Chicago with lots of emotional baggage. Their wedding day is just 10 days away and the to-do list is growing quickly. Terra and Joe’s relationship is put to the ultimate test under the pressures of last minute wedding planning.

Can Terra and Joe put aside their hurt feelings and get the wedding train back on track? A visit to Joe’s father’s grave puts life back in perspective and Joe tries to prove to Terra that he cares about the wedding, but will his efforts be enough?

Penny is baptized just before her Parents head out for a night of sin–their bachelor and bachelorette parties. Joe drops a bomb on Terra that leaves her in tears.

Terra attends her wedding rehearsal without Joe, who is in another state playing a gig with his band. Her bridesmaids and her brother offer lots of support, but when Joe’s return flight is delayed just hours before their wedding Terra is distraught. Will the lightning storm keep Joe from making it to his own wedding?

After Joe leaves Terra alone in Chicago to play a gig with his band two days before their wedding, Terra questions if he’s really ready for marriage. Will Joe’s last minute surprise change Terra’s mind or has he gone too far this time?

Terra tries to enjoy her wedding day, but with so many last minute demands it’s difficult. Tonya convinces Joe that it’s not too late to ask Terra’s mom for her blessing on their marriage, but once a nervous Joe works up the courage to ask her, he gets an unexpected response.

It’s been a life-changing year for the Little Family and it culminates in a beautiful exchange of vows in front of Terra’s and Joe’s best friends and family in Joe’s hometown of Chicago.
