This Dad Just Gave the Best Mother's Day Gift Ever When He Wore an "Empathy Belly" For a Day

"This is terrible. I feel warm — I don't like feeling warm — I can't really breathe. There's got to be 40 extra pounds on me."

For Mother's Day [1] last year, Penn Holderness [2] had the internet in tears when he experienced simulated labor [3] as a gift to his wife. This year, his wife Kim bought an "Empathy Belly" online and decided that he should wear it for a day and night as a gift to her (and to us).

Watch the video to hear his commentary and to witness his attempts at doing the everyday things that become just a teeny bit difficult once you're pregnant [4].
