Traveling

I am traveling for business this week. The airport TSA (Transportation Security Agency) must have had a field day with what they found in my bag (for a refresher, see Pregnancy Suit Presentation. The lead balls either confused the heck out of them or gave them a good laugh. Probably both. They didn’t search my other bag.
Also, without Michele here to help me, I am happy to report that I've become proficient at putting the suit on by myself. Here I am in my hotel room…

Pregnancy Suit Presentation

Here's a video close-up look at the pregnancy suit.

Michele's observations

My wife, Michele, tries to gauge the authenticity of my experience by trying on the pregnancy suit. Here are some of her impressions:

Hmmm. I’m definitely having some flashbacks — or hazebacks. It’s heavy. But you don’t have weight gain like that…so instantly.

The only thing remotely similar to real pregnancy is the pressure on my rib cage. And being a lit short of breath — not being able to inhale as much as you want. I remember that.

The suit gives you a sloshy sensation in the belly. It’s a super exaggerated feeling. I remember feeling that way, especially turning over in bed.
