I think it is clear he will be the stay at home mom for the children..I think Jessica makes decent money and has a very stable job. A couple of comments from someone who goes to Mayo pretty often. You rarely see Children running around like Elsie. Obviously germs are everywhere and the kids that you do see are usually the patients. They often in the appointment info as you not to bring family members to these type of waiting areas. I did not understand why when they each went for their scans they could not go alone and the other parent stay with Elsie at the apartment? Consults..okay get why both are there but these are routine time consuming scans and there is nothing for a child to do at Mayo. I thought to myself what are they going to do with 2 children? These scans will be for life...hopefully down to one a year but still both of their cancers have high recurrence rates. I know Brian reads here and sorry but watching him waddle into the treatment area was painful.....the stakes for his success in weight loss could not be higher for himself and his family. He should be consulting an expert at Mayo to get him on a program that gives him a chance. You can sometimes forget just how large he is as most videos are waist up..seated .

Yes it’s obviously well edited to ensure they both only appear from waist up … mind you it’s very clear from looking at their chubby faces, necks and shoulders that they are big! I’m sure waist down is not good viewing. Brian is very obese … he waddles solely due to weight and fitness level associated with that and being so very unhealthy.
Taking Elsie was certainly not a bright idea. Surely they have Aunty Tess who could mind her. They rarely mention extended family so that in itself begs questions. I too wonder how this couple will manage with two young kids in the mix … I was amazed they continuously mentioned needing to have a ‘nap’ because they were exhausted. More to the point is they are not fit and they are overweight… all symptoms pointing to a need for regular rest and naps. Quite disgusting really from two people their age. Elsie will adopt bad habits and make poor choices because of her parents, who should in fact be her role models … look in the mirror folks!
while especially Brian probably needs more rest due to the heavy load..and one kidney...I can say that Mayo requires lots of walking and those very early mornings with not much sleep night before can make anyone want a nap. Those days are physically and emotionally draining and then add in a young child.
They were on again yesterday with update... they were hoping for egg transfer this week but now must wait due to conditions not being perfect in Tess' uterus. Maybe next month. I know nothing about surrogacy but boy women who do this get paid upwards of $60,000 for second baby and with all the extra fees more like $150,000.00. Krocks have been working for many months on this and must have started when Elsie was under one year. I get that apparently Tess is just so kind that she is carrying with no fee that still leaves a lot of expenses for the Krocks. Still living at Brian's parents and a new home under remodel. One parent working full time and required trips to Mayo every 3 or 4 months. Also I did not realize that Tess has to take drugs to get ready for this transfer and to insure some high % of success and that includes estrogen. There are so many risky aspects to this pregnancy for Tess especially second time around considering the first experience....I guess what I am saying is I don't understand why she is doing this again? I know there was much discussion in advance with some major concerns from Tess' husband and I sure hope it all goes well. I don't know about the timing but it sounds like after they returned from Mayo Elsie got sick. Surprise surprise..I had mentioned above about a small child touching so much while killing hours with them at the clinic and how you are encouraged not to bring them unless they are patients. Clearly the transfer and pregnancy of Tess will provide lots of content for the Krocks' channel in the next months...probably more interesting than the purchase of 80 pounds of bananas!!!
I watched part of that video, only up to the point where they said Elsie was sick. So thanks for the summary. If it were me, Elsie would be enough, but they have their reasons for wanting a second child. I do hope all goes well, but this to me is a lot to take on.
They mentioned some time ago the TWO unused eggs waiting...as they call them the KROCKSICLES !! At that time her words indicated they felt some moral or religious obligation to use them and create more children. I am not sure sure their goal is not three. When you look at the situation the real risk here is for Tess....I wonder if they can transfer two eggs for twins?
There’s still no guarantee that despite hormonal injections and pessaries and precise timing, that any embryo is going to embed and become a viable pregnancy. Tess is no spring chicken so lots of question marks and waiting is certainly in order.
I’ve seen the Krocks discussed on other threads here on TL just regarding weight issues and another time talking about surrogacy so many watch these two with disbelief that they have such disregard on many levels from their own personal lifestyle to their disrespect of others.
For so called ‘caring people’ as they see themselves, they are very greedy given it’s all about them and their needs. Not a lot of caring for anyone else.
Yes, I remember them saying that! That’s a great question as to whether they could transfer two eggs for twins. It definitely seems like at some point they will want the third child.
Absolutely you can transfer multiple eggs and if all take, you could have a multiple birth of 2, 3, 4, 5, etc babies should all embed and remain viable.
I think Jessica only has two frozen embryos remaining so what they do with those two is anyone’s guess. Once the two remaining embryos have been used, be it they use both at the same time or on two separate occasions, that’s it for Jessica.
Next we’ll be hearing that Tess is donating eggs! Nothing like all in the family between this lot.
Someone had asked why both Krocksickles weren't being placed at once and Brian replied that it's not done that way anymore, to which a medical professional replied and said ... yes multiple embryos are still being implanted. Brian also stated that they will need to find someone else to carry the third embryo. Yeesh.
Perhaps the clinic where they attend do not implant multiple embryos but it most certainly is done and is very much the preference for many couples who are open to the possibility of a multiple birth pregnancy… of course eggs can still divide and that also would produce a multiple birth scenario but as for Brian’s comment, he is not entirely correct!
They may not even get one viable pregnancy out of the two embryos they have left so it’s jumping the gun to suggest what they will do with the third egg.
Better he concentrate on losing some of his morbid obesity than focus on something he doesn’t truly understand …
I wonder if he’s started his neighborhood walks yet or is still in the ‘gunna’ phase!
His focus is pathetic
We have all noted how they are now using Elsie in videos. Interesting new law in US regarding using underage children on videos to increase views. I would think twice about doing this:
Attachments
wow I missed that...he really said they have talked about that and will need to find another surrogate for the third? These two are nuts.
Expect a Sunday Krocksickle update tomorrow. Maybe from Tess' home? I think about time to move ahead? Not sure where the Krocksickles are maybe Tess has to come to the Krocks' home?
4/6 Krocksickle update. Transfer not for a few weeks.
Lots of product links today and for those who might be
interested Jessie is going to "unbox" the kitchen stuff
that has been in storage for years and this will be a live
stream where you can help her decide what to keep.
This sort of confirms this channel is not something I
will be watching except for updates from time to time. The
stans seemed excited for that event.
Elsie in day care for 2 days a week so Brian can work
on the new house. Brian made a special request for
those on "forums" ie Tattle to be sure to email him
with your concerns.

Tess needs a serious psychological evaluation. She has her own kids and a husband but is willing to risk her own life, and sacrifice their well being, by carrying another embryo for her cousin. Two people with cancer and uncertain futures. So selfish of the krocks and just so short sighted and dangerous for Tess. I feel that Jess knows this but what does Brian care about Jess? His eyes are so dark and blank imo. Jess seems afraid to contradict him.
Agree! There’s some weird thinking amongst this lot. They don’t appear to take anything seriously and their rational for wanting another child doesn’t correlate to the risk.
Brian’s a big overweight log who only cares about sitting on his a and food and Jess seems to have more of a passion for Tess than her morbidly obese husband. The poor child has no chance with the role models she’s been blessed with! They would never be suitable for adoption (just look at them) and wouldn’t pass the first post mentally or physically so they rely on surrogacy via some less than fit relative.
They are some simpleton family. I find it embarrassing they put all this on a public forum. Says heaps about them and how desperate they are financially. Interbred's.
Wow 4/17 update. Watching this is just cringeworthy...Jessica talks baby talk with Tess and they are seem so immature. Something is really off with Tess...can you imagine taking all those shots and meds (estrogen in multiple forms) for yet another baby for her cousin??? I have to assume that with 104,000 subs the ad revenue these two blobs are getting is paying for all of this and that they are giving Tess a big chunk of change to do this. We don't know the real back story here. The word "simpleton" was used above...perfect description for all of them. I can't believe Tess passed any mental evaluations...she seems so simple just like the Krocks. I guess Tess has no job either so probably needs this money.
Some mental health assessments will give you the info you want if you pay well and go to the right cringeworthy medico!
Interesting other threads on Tattle often mention the Krocks and I don’t ever see anything but negative comments stating exactly as we see them ‘unstable and cringeworthy’
I don't know how they ever got over 100,000 subs? I guess it was the cancer clickbait that took them to that number. I don't have a good feeling about this second child via Tess. I know her husband was the last to get on board with #2 and I can totally understand that.
