Thomas Beatie became an internationally known name in 2008 when it emerged that, though a man in the state of Oregon, he was pregnant. That was possible because Thomas was once a woman and he’d kept the reproductive organs because his wife Nancy could not have babies. One year later, he was giving birth to the couple’s second child – and now, he’s just been let go from the hospital where he welcomed the third child into the family.

As we also reported earlier this year, Beatie was pregnant again – and a source is now confirming for Radar Online that, indeed, he has just given birth to his third child. The new addition to the family is a boy whose name his parents have not yet chosen. Thomas and Nancy already have two kids, a daughter named Susan who is 2 and another son, Austin, who was born last year. Given worldwide interest in their family, it is believed the two will be making an announcement as regards the birth of their soon very soon.

“It’s a bouncing baby boy for famous ‘pregnant man’ Thomas Beatie, Radar Online has learned exclusively. Transgender male Beatie shocked the world in June 2008 when he became the first man to have a baby – and two years later he’s already on baby number three! ‘He’s got light brown hair and blue eyes. He’s very handsome and adorable, and he’s big and healthy,’ revealed a source close to the family, who added that Beatie was only in the hospital on Sunday, July 25 for 24 hours before he was discharged,” Radar writes.

Everything went just smoothly, with Thomas in and out of the hospital in almost no time. “With their first child, Susan, Thomas was in the hospital for four days, and the next time with Austin he was there for two days. This time, their son was completely healthy so there was no reason to stay longer. It was a very quick labor. He nearly didn’t make it to the hospital and almost had him in the car!” the same tipster says for the e-zine. “They’re staying private right now and spending a lot of time at home getting to know him. It’s happy bliss. They’re soaking up all the love,” the insider adds.

The boy was born at the St. Charles Medical Center in Bend, OR, where his brother and sister were delivered, also naturally. As noted above as well, Thomas and Nancy are expected to make an announcement about the birth of their third child anytime soon, so make sure you keep an eye on this space for when they do.
