Just weeks before he gives birth, pregnant man Thomas Beatie shows no sign of slowing down.
Hiding his baby bump under a T-shirt that reads "Define Normal", the world's first pregnant man is showing no signs of putting his feet up, tending to his lawn just weeks out from his due date.
Despite saying he's "always feeling bloated" and is suffering from aching feet and hips, Thomas Beatie has been spotted by his neighbours carrying out "manly" chores at his Bend, Oregon, home, such as taking out the garbage and mowing the lawn, while wife Nancy has been busy preparing their new arrival's nursery, decked out in yellow.
"I often see him taking out the rubbish. These things have to be done and Thomas is happy to do them," neighbour Mitch Kahle told Closer magazine in the UK.
"They are just like any other couple expecting a child. Thomas likes to keep busy, and if that means doing tasks around the house, that's what he has to do."
Thomas shocked the world when he announced in March this year that he was pregnant. Born Tracy LaGondino, he is now legally a man after a partial sex-change operation 10 years ago, but he was able to fall pregnant because he kept his reproductive organs.
"Ironically, being pregnant doesn't make me feel any more female or feminine," Thomas told Oprah Winfrey in what's believed to have been a million-dollar deal between the talk-show host and People magazine in April. "Having this baby doesn't make me less of a man. Wanting a child is a human desire. So I decided just to have a chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy, keeping my womb intact. The only thing different about me is that I won't be able to breastfeed."

Selfish retarded people do not think of the consequences for their children.
