Sporting a T-shirt with the logo of his company "Define Normal", the 34-year-old gets stuck into his gardening chores while wife Nancy does her weekend duties at their Bend home in the U.S. state of Oregon.
Thomas, who was born Tracy Lagondino, said he first felt he was trapped in the wrong body when he was in his 20s and quickly went from a Miss Teen Hawaii finalist to taking testosterone and growing a beard.In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in April, Thomas revealed that he used a donor's sperm to conceive.
He added it was Nancy who inseminated him at home with a syringe-like device.
The transsexual says he is carrying a child on behalf of his wife because she has had a hysterectomy.
Thomas said his first attempt to have a child resulted in an ectopic pregnancy with triplets. They had to be aborted, he said, and he lost his right fallopian tube.
He is legally classified a man after having had testosterone treatment and surgery to remove his breasts.
He was able to conceive because he decided not to have reconstructive surgery so that he could have a child someday.
The couple, who have been together for over a decade and married for five years, are expecting a baby girl on July 3.
Thomas said his first attempt at conceiving resulted in an ectopic pregnancy with triplets. They had to be aborted, he said, and he lost his right fallopian tube.
"Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am," Thomas said when news of the pregnancy broke in March.
"I will be my daughter's father and Nancy will be her mother. We will be a family."
Mr Beatie said doctors, friends and family had all opposed his plans to start a family.
While there are not believed to be any previous recorded cases of such a pregnancy, experts said it was perfectly possible.
"A transgender man can be pregnant because he has the same organs as a woman," said Dr Lisa Masterson, an obstetrician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Beverly Hills.
