OK, I’ll admit it. When I got my recent copy of People magazine in the mail (that’s probably a horrifying enough confession right there), I did a little head-scratching as I read the story “He’s Having a Baby” accompanied by a photo of Thomas Beatie and his pregnant belly. For those of you who might have missed the story, Beatie is a black belt in karate who can bench press 255 pounds; he drives a Ford truck and, at work, runs a 2-ton T-shirt press; he’s also about 5 feet 10 inches tall and has a trimmed beard. Oh, and he’s six months pregnant. He and his wife, Nancy, are expecting a daughter this summer.
