The VPN I'm using to access all the western websites from China (such as Facebook, RUclips and Instagram) is ExpressVPN. You can get it here: www.xvinlink.com?a_fid=miriaminchina
I have used since 2015, and so far I am very satisfied. During certain times of the year, I struggle to get on it - but the great thing about ExpressVPN is that their customer service is always available through their live chat, and they always try to help me if I encounter any problems.

Hi Miriam, wishing you have a smooth and easy delivery.
2nd delivery is usually quicker than the first, so maybe once you start to feel pain, please ask your mum and brother to come quickly, it is really quick...stay safe and best wishes to you.
For us, Chinese, we have this old tradition to pass the older child's baby clothes for the new baby so they can grow up healthy and well
Also easy to care for, good that you had kept all Sansan's clothes.
Stay calm and waiting for the big day.
Congratulations! Brace yourself - a 2 year old is way too young to understand the needs of a baby. He will surely regress a little (completely normal when a kid is stressed) and act like a younger kid. Please have patience with him as this too is temporary - you are lucky to have someone to share your load. I have often heard that having two kids with 2 years or less of an age difference IS equal to having twins. Good luck.
Sansan has a wonderful role model in his Dad. He is learning how to be kind, supportive and sweet like his Dad. And you, Miriam, are a wonderful mother and role model - kind and helping Sansan to understand what is going on. Good luck with the delivery. Take care of yourselves.
YOUR HUSBAND!!! Wow ... AMAZING!!
I had 4 kids in under 6 years. They are in their late teens, early 20’s now and have the strongest sibling bond I’ve seen. It was busy and hard at times when they were small but now I’ve realized the best gift I gave them was each other ..... lifelong friends
So touching hearing your hubby saying about he want to feel the process of woman giving birth and hug you tide while you're giving birth..awww
I almost got tears in my eyes when your husband talked about beeing a father, and appreciating women. It's true that we learn a lot when becoming a parent, children inspire us to become our best!
Wish you all the best for the delivery, and that it will be "lagom" in the pace!
Me too. It took my breath away.
Your husband is such a loving man. You make a beautiful family together.
I'm honored to witness such kindness in you and both your husband and son. This new child is being born into LOVE.
Such sweet comments from your husband about holding you while you give birth, such a sensitive soul.
Your husband's words r touching
I recently found your channel and I love it! Your videos are beautiful and your family is so sweet! My husband is also Chinese and I love to cook with my mother in law as well 😊 Can't wait to see your next beautiful baby!
Juz can’t get enuf of Sansan !!! He’s insanely beyond cute and adorable!!!
Your husband is so sweet and empathetic . Wishing you a safe and quick delivery. 🙏🙏🙏 Sansan is gonna be such a good big brother
Hi Miriam, so glad to see a new video from you. Your husband is not only a hunk but also sensitive and considerate. Beautiful family, can’t wait to meet the baby🙏🏼🍀
Yonghong is so authentic. The two of you are a lovely couple in how you do these videos. Sansan will make a sweet big brother and in a way it's nice to have another boy to play with cars and trucks!😊 Hope you get to "enjoy" and process this birth while it's happening, and that you make it to your "preferred" hospital in time. May all go well! And I'm glad you are keeping the name to yourself for now! We will all know soon. ❣❣❣
Your husband is very articulate. In time when he he'll be able to express his thoughts in English that'll be awesome to watch.
Beautiful family. And your husband’s loving words to want to be there to hug you during birth is heart-warming. Pictures and filming is special, especially for your own viewing.
I just love how you and your husband are a constant defy to toxic masculinity, your family is such a great example of parenthood and a constant reminder of how much is important to share feelings. Your thoughts were so deep and thoughtful. I've had to admit I cried when you were recalling the birth of Sansan...such beautiful words!
Sansan is sooooooo adorable!
Love your husband's honesty. You can tell how much he cares for you and your lovely babies. Love your family!
You got a very helpful partner and very lovely son. Hope your delivery will be safe and smooth. Looking forward to the second child 🤗
Such a beautiful video! ✨
The colors and videography are so soothing.
What a lovely video! I can only imagine Sansan and his little brother watching these videos over and over. How fortunate they are, they will be able to show them even to their own kids. 🙏
Such sweet loving exchange of baby preparations and adoration from Yonghong in appreciation for mom's journey through birth. Very lovely.
Hi Miriam and Yonghong from Australia.
You are just beautiful people with such kind hearts and a beautiful little family, soon now to have a new little baby.
I hope that you stay well and look forward to seeing you as a family of four soon.
Bless you all.
🥰😘🤗🇦🇺
You are all so LOVELY! Glad there is soon to be a fourth member in this gorgeous family. This was a great video. Loved the processing/colour choices, variation in depth of feild and composition in shooting, and the editing. Great job. Miriam, you are an awesome story teller - visually as well as in words. Wishing you all the best for a safe and (not too) speedy delivery.
So wonderful to witness your pregnancy. I was also touched by 當你的老公說他想更好地愛女人,謝謝你希望很多男人可以像你這樣
I am so happy for you and your family. Your values are on point, and you deserve an easy delivery, and abundant live when you are four! Cannot wait!
Dont worry too much..💕i had three Boys one and a half year apart each time.I also breastfeeded..and worked as a small Animal veterinarian..Complicated was That my now exHusband wasnt much of a help,but i have the feeling you can really trust your husband..his thoughts sounded wonderful and sincere..so as long he stays that way..I think you have no need to worry..👍🏻for your choice of husband..😉🍀good luck to you
Wow so finally your video came, blessings from a Pakistani mother!
Your husband is amazing! He says all the right words. Lucky you. Be happy and safe.
Wishing you a very smooth delivery! Even though your mom can’t be with you in the delivery room, I am sure she will still support you after the birth. Moms are just so awesome like that (which you already know 😉).
Mariam you are so lucky to have a loving caring and gorgeous husband resulting in you both raising gorgeous Sansan. Your 2nd child will be just as beautiful. You are all so blessed. Thanks for sharing and the very best for your upcoming delivery 👏🏽👏🏼🥰🥰🇦🇺
永鸿说得真好!爸爸棒棒哒!Sending you good vibes for your delivery. All the best to you and your family! 💕💕💕
Wish you guys a smooth delivery and many many happy days!))
So it's a son !! Congratulations, it's another boy . Great for the family.
A another beautiful child.bless you lovely lady and family!😍
Such a beautiful family you are!!!! Sooo sweet and lovable!! Much Love to you!!
I am so excited for you. 2 years ago we gave our toddler son a baby brother (we were expecting a baby sister) and it’s the best thing we have done for our eldest. You are giving San San the best gift, it will be difficult but so magical!
I had similar logistical/childcare worries for my labour. I wonder if it’s an option for your mum and brother to collect San San from the hospital car park? That way you can head straight there without delay and get settled in the birthing unit, Yonghong can pass San San to grandma. It may also help San San feel involved in getting mama to hospital, like he’s in charge of getting you and baby brother there safely 😍
I know there’s probably reasons why this won’t work for you but thought it was worth suggesting. I remember how worrying it is. Wishing you all the best!
So happy to watch your video again and that everyone is fine
Miriam, you are a great mum and a wife, the fact that you try to eat well and take care of your health, your newborn will certainly be very well and healthy! Best wishes!
Lovely family , may God bless you family , your husband is so kind and caring for you Mariam , God is Good.
Miriam just a heads up . My first birth was 3 hours and my second was only 1.5 please keep in mind that your birth s get quicker each time
Praying for the happiest of births for you. Thank you for bringing us so much joy.
Wow! You are incredibly blessed. I’m so thankful everything worked out and you were able to be in Sweden. Happy birthing!
Best wishes for a safe delivery and healthy baby boy.💙
I laughed so much 😆. It really doesnt matter where the men come from, their worry is the same. My husband said the same thing...he is worried about 2 kids crying😅 you guys are so cute! ❤ all best to you and your family! 🥰
Surprising to see yonghong wearing a Fudan pullover, feeling nostalgic :)
Girl or boy does not matter. Healthy and beautiful baby is the most important.
Congratulation on your second baby. To avoid sibling jealously , this is what I did when I had my two children one and half year between each other. It was not easy but it is worth it. You must get a little present for Sansan and say from little tee tee to big brother but wait until Sansan approach the baby. Remeber Sansan have all your attention and love for a long time. And suddenly baby come along, all attention goes to the new baby. Always remember he is first born and must always include him first. Baby only need feeding and changing of diapers first few month. But Sansan see and understand more than baby. So my 2 cent opinion. Good luck!
It was nice to see you miriam in this video. Hope you and family are all doing well ? Wishing you a short and easy delivery with second baby. Looking forward to hearing about your birth of this child. And weather your baby is a girl or boy either one will be a very nice blessing for all of you in your family. ❤
Sansan said "teetee" in mandarin .. means a little brother.
Congrats on your baby boy..stay safe and hopefully we will see baby soon.
Hope the birth goes well. What a beautiful family you both are making. Very much enjoy your vids. They are always so interesting and I always feel soothed listening to your voice Miriam. You have also found a great husband who is so loving, supportive and full of life as well as a great daddy.
I'm drinking raspberry tea too! And I will plant raspberry plants this year so hopefully I can make my own tea. I love your knitted sweater by the way!
All the feels in this video!!! Congratulations on another boy! 💗💗💗
Best of luck for your delivery Miram!
The rules vary depending on which hospital you go to. In Kristianstad, you were only allowed to bring one person to the birth if he or she was tested negative for a covid test on site.
Then when you move to BB, they are not allowed to come along.
What fun to hear that you got to sleep in a mangel basket as a child, my partner prepared a similar one this summer which turned out really well.
However, our son has not wanted to sleep in it yet 😜
Looks very cozy at your place.
Good luck with the birth when it's time 😊
I can't wait to see your new addition to your family. San San is going to be a great brother. He will be your little helper.
Wow, this is probably my favourite video of yours! Yong Hong's words were so profound, and it was so sweet to hear about San San's reactions to your belly and his didi coming soon. Your filming is breathtakingly beautiful as always. Lots of love and blessings to you all!
I always feel warm and love from your videos, thank you.
Second baby will be much faster. For my second delivery... I arrived at the hospital which is only 10 minutes away at 3am and delivered at 3.35 am . It all happened so fast. Best to go to hospital earlier.
Just a great video. No words to really describe it. Just the entire video just melted my heart. A work of art.
So happy for you! Wishing you joy and happiness❤️
Hope the birth goes really well for all of you. ❤
Dear Miriam ,you will do great ,you have all the logical a mam needs ,and a wonderful husband ,so strange I got the gesebumps when I saw this video , thinking ......the baby came , Iam so excited for you ,all will be good,,you have all a mother need , best to luck , best wishes ❤️ to you ❤️🙏🙏💐💐
OMG you guys are literally the cutest! What a sweet video it seems you are making Sansan very excited about it. Congratulations on another boy, so cute!

Congratulations 🎊!! I hope you will have a safe delivery ❤️
congratulations on your second son !
i m your first soap customer, if you remember me, expecting my first child end of May or beginning of June.
Congrats Mariam on your baby reveal that you are getting another boy.
I think Sansan will be a great older brother and Yonghong has been very supportive and a great husband.
Congratulations to you all on your baby boy! Sansan will be such a wonderful big brother. Most importantly, have a safe labor and delivery ... the pictures can come later. Sending best wishes.
I hope it all goes great and smooth, looking forward to welcome the little one in the extended internet family!😘
Thanks for the info re Rosetta Stone. I have been using Duolingo for the past year to learn some new languages and improve on some others. (Since watching your videos I have started Chinese, which is easier than I expected! And I love when I can idebtify words in your subtitles!) I have been using the free version because there are things I don't love about it, so I would love more feedback on how the Rosetta Stone is working. You asked for suggestions. Here are my thoughts: as Yonghong gets to know certain words and phrases in Swedish, perhaps both of you can now only say those words and phrases to each other in Swedish in the middle of your Chinese sentences. Then as he learns another word, add it to the words you both always only say in Swedish. And correct his pronunciation as often as feasible until he gets it right. I think SanSan will learn faster and he will eventually teach pappa! Same with English! You are such a lovely couple and family! I wish you every success! Hilsen fra Canada!🇨🇦 (I speak more Norwegian than Swedish but it's probably the same or similar.😊)
I haven't tried duolingo myself, it might be similar? Are they teaching with pictures? Thanks for the idea too i think that's a good way to go about it! Sansan already speaks Swedish luckily, only with me, not with his dad 😊
@@MiriamFollin That's great that SanSan speaks Swedish. Duolingo only occasionally has pictures - not very many. And I think that some of the languages that I am very familiar with already - like Norwegian and Spanish, for example - would be very difficult to learn from Duolingo. But it is useful backup to someone who, say, has moved to a different country and is trying to improve their language skills in the new country.
Hope everything goes well .! Best wishes
I'm so jealous cause I love kids. But as a gay, I can't have my kids. So I always came here watching sansan and getting comfort. I hope your 2nd child can be healthy and cute.
You can adopt, there are plenty of kids who need loving homes and parents, a win win solution ❤️
@@bwyyc2886 I didn’t see any single gay man in china who adopts a child. There is no related law and regulations.
@@eddiegerahty3454 laws and regulations against it? You would need to find out about that from an adoption agency, I don't live in China so I really don't know.
@@eddiegerahty3454 去支教吧
I hope for you to be able to have a child of your own one day. May God bless you and your future family. Sending love from the USA. 🥰❤️
Miriam, your story is touching. 💖 you, 🇨🇦
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I think you are awesome parents and will be fine. Your husband is awesome and obviously loves a lot. God bless you all.
God bless you and your family!
Dates with walnuts and cocoa powder, a little vanilla. The nut oil gives moisture. You could do peanuts. Very tasty!
You are a great mother to Sansan and heartened to hear that you breast feed till he was weaned off to solid food. It is several IQ points between a breast feed baby and one early introduction to non human milk, and it also has a positive effect on a baby emotional development.
awww you guys are so sweet! wish you have a smooth delivery, both mama and baby healthy and happy :)
You’re incredible, hope for a safe arrival and all your needs are met. God blessing.
All the best Miriam ☺ can 't wait to meet the little one !
wishing you and yours much good luck!
Ahhh, congratulations on the soon to be new baby brother! Can’t wait to meet him and see how SanSan will love and interact with him...get lots of rest before your family of 3 become 4! 🥰
What a lovely family the three of you are Miriam and Yonghong is a very sweet and caring man. A very good husband.
Take it easy, Miriam. Happy for you and stay safe.
Can’t Waite to see your little one ,good luck for your labour and delivery.Hope everything will go smoothly.
What a lovely video! Congratulations! Sansan will be a great big brother! Take care. 😍
❤ Congratulations. again. 恭喜祝贺。 So happy to know your second baby is on the way.
Your hair is SO beautiful and the full plat is stunning!! Good luck with the birth! It should go well, seeing that you have such positive energy. Thank you for a lovely video and dad's inspiring thoughts on women!
Have a good and safe delivery of your baby and congratulation.
Good Job and Support !
Your husband is fabulous and is very lucky to have you 😊
I thought evening primrose oil was not good for pregnant mums but you would know a good healthy plan you have going on for sure 🙏 are you teaching hubby and Sanson to speak English? Hope your birth is a safe and happy experience 💜🌸🙏
Congratulations and I wish you a healthy delivery.
My sister is also pregnant and will give birth any day I’m sad I won’t be with her when she delivers because of covid.
Pls take great care,stay healthy & safe,yr hubby’s very encouraging & sweet😘
Wishing you a safe delivery Miriam. 🙏Take your time with the baby and your family, that’s your,priority and should come first, we will wait 😜
every thing will be fine, good luck for you all. San San is so cute and your husband is adoring and he hugged you the whole time! my husband war in the toilette because he was too nervous.
