Thomas Beatie (34) lives in Bend, Oregon, with his wife, Nancy (45). The couple run a small screen printing business called Define Normal which is perhaps a hint to the story that is rumbling beneath the outward appearance of their 'normal' life, because Thomas is pregnant!

The story sounds like it has been lifted from the fantastical pages of the National Enquirer, but instead it appeared in a recent issue of The Advocate. Alongside a picture of himself looking somewhat pregnant, Beatie announces that after quite some effort the couple are expecting their first child, a daughter, on July 3rd.
