- We are Brian & Jessica, a married couple who started on a life-changing whole food, plant-based weight loss journey back in June 2018. In June 2022, our lives were flipped upside-down when Jessica was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer. We continue to share our adventures (highs, lows, struggles & everything in between) in following a plant-based diet while keeping you up-to-date on Jessica's cancer treatment. In October 2023, we welcomed our very first child via gestational carrier.

CONGRATULATIONS...She is beautiful ♥♥♥
You folks enjoy this glory time. Congratulations! Please tell Tess and her family I added them to prayer list. You folks too. God is so good! Does your beard scratch Elsie?
Congratulations , such an amazing story with a beautiful baby Elsie.
So happy for all of you !!! ❤❤❤ Your cousin is so sweet to give you this miracle. Love you & Brian so much !!! Mary Ann in Texas. ❤❤❤
💞💗💕💕💓Beautiful!💓💕💕💗💞
What a blessing❤
Postpartum hemorrhage how terrifying. A true gift your cousin gave you. She literally put her life on the line for your daughter. Congratulations on the birth of your daughter. May you all have health and happiness. And thank you Tess for your sacrifice and love. You are a hero.
Congratulations momma and papa! What a blessing from God!
Everything I wanted to say. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That’s such a cute couple and now including their cute baby girl ❤️❤️❤️
Her cousin is a wonderful woman going through all those complications that they could become parents. God Bless them all.
Many thanks to your cousin Tess. Truly selfless and no better gift.
Dear Tess, thank you for making Jessica and Brian so happy! You are a brave, wonderful woman.
Brian is right…having a child is like no other feeling. Pure joy!
Until they’re older and then the teen years😂
Some don't get
Some don't get too bad!@@Autobahn4537
She is absolutely lovely. Your story of your cousin carrying your baby for you, makes me believe in the goodness of humans again ♥️♥️♥️
Jessica, after all you have been through in the past year, it touched me so deeply to see you holding sweet Elsie right after she came into this world. What an amazing gift!
Your cousin is a hero. All credits for her and her family
"...it's like I tapped into a completely different reservoir of love that I didn't know existed..."
So perfectly described, Brian.
I felt this when my first was born.
Mom drying her happy tears on Elsie's blanket was just the sweetest. Born on Friday the 13th, and her first movie is "Nightmare Before Christmas". A perfect beginning for a perfect baby.
Congratulations! She's beautiful! I hope Tess is doing well!!! What a wonderful gift she gave you!!!
And Tess, no words. Such a selfless precious person. Well done Tess.
Your cousin, is an angel. And carried your angel into your arms. Soooo happy that Elsie has such fabulous parents!
An absolute Angel
From hardship and pain to sublime joy! Isn't God good? ❤❤❤✝️
Congratulations Mom and Dad!! Thank you Tess and Jeff for the amazing selfless gift.
Congratulations!!! You had this 62 year old man crying happy tears. You are going to be awesome parents.
Brian is the most wonderful man. His wife and daughter are very fortunate to have his love and attention.
Praise Jesus that Tess is ok and Elsie is healthy and happy. Congratulations to you both on your beautiful baby girl. I love all the wonderful pictures. She is a true gift from God.
"Even her crying is adorable" ❤--Brian
Congratulations you three! I cannot be happier for you!
And who doesn't like a beautiful, miraculous, happy ending like this? Congratulations!!! ❤
OMG! I shrieked "She's HERE!!!" when this video popped up!! My goodness she is beautiful. She looks like a little angel! Congratulations to all. And Tess, her husband and family are super heroes for giving you the greatest gift on the planet! Your photos are beautiful!
Congratulations! I had no idea that you were about to become parents. Unfortunately, the CZcams algorithm decides what we see and what you don’t. You are going to be great parents. It’s going to be an adventure. What a gift.
Thank you Tess for giving the gift of life to two very deserving people! You are an amazing woman! ❤
Elsie is so lucky to have such loving parents. ❤️
In today's world, it does my heart good knowing there are good people out there!
That baby has no neck strength. Please be careful, oh my god.
I wish sometimes as nurses we could just lie to the patient and their love ones that everything will be fine. But after having so much experience it best to say we will try everything we can. It's very sad but it's the reality.
I'm just happy yo see baby girl finally in the kitchen. God bless your cousin!
I didn't expect to be so moved, yet here I am, eyes watering, feeling an outpouring of love to you and your family. God really knows what He's doing. ❤
Seeing you so happy enjoying the love you have for your baby when I see parents who don’t. Everyone should have the same feeling you have for their new born child.
I keep thinking about Jessica and Brian one year ago, and now this. It is mind blowing. Elsie is your little angel on earth, what a blessing. 🤗❤❤
Elsie is a beautiful miracle. God always keeps his promises but in his own time. Your cousin is in my prayers for complete healing.
What a selfless gift from Tess!!! Congratulations to All!
GORGEOUS baby girl!! Brian, I love how you recognize God answering your prayers and fulfilling His promise to you! Congratulations to all of you!!! :)
Oh, hello little girl. Welcome to the world 🎉 You guys, how beautiful.
As a cancer survivor, I am so excited for you guys. She is beautiful. She is amazing.
What an amazing cousin you have, Elsie will be surrounded by so many wonderful people ❤
What a cute baby ! After everything you've been through, it's so moving to see the three of you like this. Congratulations to you and to Tess for being the best cousin ever !
She’s a doll. You guys will have a special holiday season this year 😊
So happy to see Jessica smiling again 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations!!!
Years ago when you talked about kids, Brian said it was "completely up to Jessica" but that he dreamed of being a dad. To see this is so beautiful. I am so happy for you both!
I was just thinking about that video. Beautiful outcome and I am so happy for them ❤️
When you become a grandparent 1 day you will love your child but you would kill for your grandchildren... That's also another level of love that is so incredible
I can not think of a more deserving couple to have this precious Angel!! She looks just like her daddy!!! Congratulations Mommy and Daddy!!!💗💗
Love is re-defined beyond words at the moment your child is born. Welcome to the world, Elsie! Congratulations Mom and Dad!
I never clicked so fast. Welcome Baby Elsie.... 💓💗💖💝💘❤🧡💚💙💜🤎💕
God is good! And I rejoice with you seeing your beautiful baby, and seeing God’s blessings in your medical recovery! So happy for you guys!
Congratulations, she’s beautiful! So happy for you all! It’s called a “Retained Placenta”. (I’m a Labor/Delivery RN). You 3 are the cutest!
It is scary. After I had my baby, the nurses were called to a code because the mom next door to me was hemorrhaging. It was horrifying listening to her husband outside of the room yelling at someone to help his wife.
Great job, Tess!! You did a great job growing Elsie! Congrats Brian and Jessica ❤ Elsie's beautiful! I'm so happy for you!!
Love the pictures with Peef!!
Tess, you're a beautiful women!
Dear Brian and Jessica - Elsie is a lovely! You will be the most wonderful parents! Beautiful times ahead! And thank you for letting us in on it! What an honor! We love you!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GUYS. WELCOME HOME ELSIE. WELCOME HOME 🙏🏻🤩💗⭐️🌞👏🏻🤧
The PPH is terrifying even for a midwife. Because sometimes everything does not go ok. Poor Tess, after all her sacrifices. This story of your lives together is amazing.
Congratulations! She is beautiful! How fortunate you are to have Tess! I'm glad she is ok.
Yay! 💜
Welcome to the world, Elsie ! 🌸
(God bless, Tess!
What a gift she gave to your lovely little family.) 💜
Tess is truly a remarkable woman. It’s so wonderful to see you guys so incredibly happy! Congratulations! ❤
I found that my babies were the ones who taught me all about the purest form of unconditional love. That love is unlike any other. My babies are young adults now, and the love I feel for them is still off the charts. Children are an incredible blessing. We teach them, but they teach us as well. Congratulations on your beautiful, perfect little girl. I'm glad your cousin is on the mend. She is a truly amazing woman.
Joy! Joy! Joy! Tess is a warrior rockstar! I also hemorrhaged after one of my child births. Wild experience! Thankfully your precious daughter has arrived to our world! Congrats 🎈
I cannot love this enough! Congratulations Brian and Jessica. How blessed you are.
Elsie is just beautiful! Congratulations to mom and dad.
My husband was diagnosed at the same time as you but state four and a rare aggressive cancer. He went into the hospital the day Elsie was born and he passed away on the 17th. I tell you this because I am so happy that you are ok and that this new blessing was born. Cancer robs us of so much and so we celebrate joys. All my best to you!
Thank you so much for your message. We are both so very sorry for your loss. We both know the blessings we've received over this last year, and we will always be grateful for every single day we have together. You will be in our prayers tonight.
What a wonderful miracle! She is truly a gift from God. Blessings to all of you.❤
Congratulations 💕 you two are going to be great parents, Elsie is very lucky to have you both 🫶
I've been away from the channel a long time. To my surprise, I got a lot more than some plant based inspiration! Congratulations ❤
Daddy is proud as a peacock!!!! I love it!!
Y’all are one walking miracle after another. Congratulations!!!!! She’s breathtaking!!! And a little clone of Bryan IMO! 😋 Thank you for sharing this with us!
Wow, what a beautiful story. Such a pretty little baby. Congratulations 💖💖💖
Just an amazing special bubba. Best cousin ever and I hope Tess is healing.
I was baptised and confirmed at Salisbury cathedral, UK on Saturday evening. Then on Sunday, I had my first communion.
I have been following you two, Brian and Jessica, from the very beginning. I well remember the potatoes you forced yourselves to eat for what seemed like forever. Over all this time, I've never posted a comment, but I've stayed plugged in for all the ups and downs, and it was very hard seeing Jessica go through all that cancer stuff last year. But the arrival of this beautiful and perfect little dream of a baby has prompted me to write. It is a bright and beautiful beginning of the next chapter of your lives, and there won't be words to describe the love you have for this child. But if ever there is a time to savor every minute, this is it! You were blessed to have a sweet, loving cousin volunteer to be your baby "oven." I cannot think of a greater gift that you could ever receive. It was completely magnanimous of Tess, and I salute her. And her husband and kids, as well. There are not enough words in the dictionary to thank her. But now it's done; Tess is recovering; and you two are brand new parents. And I can see right away that you are going to enjoy that baby as much as my husband and I enjoyed our two daughters! There is no joy that compares! So, go forward with love and happiness, and God-speed to the three of you, Brian, Jessica, and Elsie--the Krocks in the Kitchen!
Congratulations! Elsie is absolutely the sweetest baby (that’s a professional opinion as I am a retired maternity nurse). Thank you for the wonderful update. Happy Anniversary, I wish you all the best (and it looks like you’ve got it). ❤
This is the greatest news! Congratulations to your family! Just think of the ‘Goliaths’ you have faced together, and little Elsie is your banner of Winning that fight! So grateful God blessed your family with this pure little soul! So so so happy for you!
Oh, and btw…. My grandmas name was Elsie! I am super fond of her name❤❤❤
My Mother's name is Elsie. She lived to be 90 years old and was in excellent health her entire life. It's a beautiful name, blessed by the angels... and your Elsie will be blessed as well. Congratulations! Enjoy the early years... make some wonderful memories!
This is my second congratulations after the news of Elsie's arrival in the last video. It truly feels like you can't be congratulated enough! It's so wonderful to hear Jessica's fabulous laugh and the other bit of wonderful is to know your amazingly big hearted cousin Tess is ok. I'm sure you will feel a very special gratitude and connection over and above your cousinly relationship with Tess for evemore. Her gift to you both AND ultimately to Elsie is inestimable, is so precious and it always will be 🥰
I am so happy for you both and wish you nothing but happy times with you precious Elsie. Of course life being what it is, it won't be like that. But! It doesn't matter. Tess has given you the gift of a lifetime with Elsie and that is irreplaceable . Enjoy it ❤
Congratulations!! Elsie is beautiful!!! ❤
Congratulations...how wonderful. Welcome to the world Elsie! You have amazing parents!
Congratulations, gratitude to that cousin. ENJOY!!!
Welcome to the world, Elsie! May God, form a hedge of protection around you. Congratulations to Mom and Dad!🥂
Congrats Mom and Dad Krock! Bienviendos Elsie!
I'm in the UK ~ was about to go to bed ~ but then your video popped up and I simply HAD to watch it!
And yes, I'm sitting here with tears of joy for you guys, after all you've been through.
Elsie is utterly perfect ~ what a truly wonderful blessing.
Tess, you and your family are such shining lights in a world currently filled with so much darkness ❤️
To Jessica, Brian and baby Elsie ~ sending warmest hugs and so much love from across the ocean.
❤️🕊🤗🕊🌷
I can’t get over how alert she is 😮❤
I teared up so many times during this video. When Brian starts talking about how he loves Jessica more than anything and he loves Elsie more than anything.....he "tapped into a reservoir of love that he didn't even know he had"....when he looks at Elsie he thinks, "You are my little girl!" Oh, my goodness, I am so very happy for the both of you. That little girl is blessed with a wonderful mommy and daddy. Your cousin, Tess, is a wonderful human being. Jessica, you look great! Little Elsie is a beautiful baby! May you enjoy the coming days with your new little one and may Tess heal quickly.
Congratulations Mom and Dad!!!!
Congratulations to you both! Elsie is one lucky girl! 🎉🎀🍼 So glad Tess is okay! What a beautiful gift she gave you.
After all the two of you went through, now there are three of you. God bless all of you and Cousin Tess and Jeff. ❤❤❤️❤️❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So so happy for you! Beautiful pictures! A million thanks to Tess!
I am ELATED for EVERYONE!! What a sweetheart. I'll bet you can't even imagine NOT having her in your lives. Congratulations again. I've been waiting for this video on YT, as I don't really "do" any of the other social media. This has to be my favorite Krocks video. 💝 Happy Birthday Elsie! Happy Anniversary Krocks! I'm so glad that Tess is recovering well. That's terrifying.
I'm watching this with tears streaming down my face. As a parent of 3 and grandparent of 4 I know the gravity of experiencing a new baby in the family...such JOY! Bless you all!
And prayers for Tess' complete recovery from the surgery to remove the rest of rhe placenta! May her uterus contract and stitches heal!
Congratulations! My first grandchild, a boy was born on Oct. 15th. It's absolutely incredible.
So happy for the 3 of you! God bless each of you. Everyone needs a Tess in their life. ❤
What a beautiful baby! Thank you so much for letting us share this with you! I hope you continue to share her with us!! I can't wait to see lil Krockette in the kitchen with her mum & dad! Love you guys. Be well, be safe and be happy 🧡🤎🧡🤎
The emotions you are describing are the ones you should be experiencing. Babies are gifts from GOD, and on October 13, 2023 he sincerely blessed you! Birth is always a miracle, but after everything you've been through, it's even more so! She's beautiful and very lucky to be so loved!!!
Brian is a man. A real good man. Lucky baby. Great parents.
She is adorable! How lucky Elsie is to have you both as parents! Love Love Love
Congratulations!!!! You are already awesome parents! This will certainly change your lives forever but for the better. I couldn't imagine life without my babies who are now 21 & 24. Don't blink!
Goes fast doesn’t it. My daughter is also. 24. Seems like she was just born yesterday!
The smile on both your faces says it all! Congratulations on the birth of Elsie Clara.
God bless Tess and her family for such an amazing, priceless, and loving gift. Congratulations to you two on the birth of your precious beautiful baby girl. ♥️🙏♥️
Congratulations! She’s beautiful! Such a good mix of her mommy and daddy! 💜 Love her photos with Peef! 💖 She’s your perfect answered prayer! 🙏🏻💖 Welcome to the world, Elsie! 🎉
Thanks for sharing this blessing with us. I cried happy tears for you all! so glad Tess is good, my heart was pounding...Ive never had a chance to be a mother or grandmother but I absolutely know what Brian meant about the deep love that you can't describe! at 62 Ive had moments that has lead me to deep love. She is absolutely adorable, the pictures are so so cute! I could go on and on...thanks so much...big hugs and loving light!
🎉Congratulations on the birth of your sweet miracle baby Elsie. So happy for the two of you. Happy anniversary as well. And Tess, your very dear sweet cousin, what an amazing selfless gift she has given you. Thankful that she is on the road to recovery. You can see God's fingerprints everywhere you look in this beautiful story. Thank you all for sharing it with the world.
The love you feel when your child enters the world is something that can’t even begin to be described. I love my parents, and my siblings, but my children… My God. The love I have for them is indescribable.
So a big thank you to your cousin Tess. Being a parent is honestly one of life’s greatest joys and I’m so happy she was able to help you guys share that joy.
Greatest blessing in life. Welcome to the world, Elsie.
Oh my! Congratulations you two! She is beautiful. Welcome to the world little Elsie. ❤
What a beautiful family! Congratulations! Best Wishes to Tess for a quick and complete recovery.
What a beautiful baby girl!!! Elsie has wonderful parents and will never lack for feeling loved!
She’s indeed a most beautiful baby! Congratulations!!!
She’s so beautiful. Congratulations on your new baby and being a family of 5 (have to include the puppies)! Enjoy the ride. It goes so fast. As a parent, the days can be long, but the years fly by.
What absolutely lovely news. Little Elsie Clara is just so adorable! Thinking of and praying for Tess and her family as she continues to recover from the ultimate gift she has given you ❤
