Despite all the media attention, those who know the couple are skeptical.

"Quite frankly, I think it's a hoax," said neighbor Ron Schlieper. "I saw him a few days ago and he didn't look like that," he said in reference to the picture from the Advocate.com Web site. "He was walking down the street with who I thought was his wife, Nancy, and I don't recall seeing a belly. If that (picture was taken) a month ago, he would have been much bigger just a few days ago."

Schlieper said Beatie's wife told him that she was pregnant. Another neighbor said the couple left their house every week for fertility treatments in Portland.

The whole thing has caught people in neighboring businesses off guard.

"I couldn't say that he looks pregnant," said Bend resident Josh Love. "I can stick my stomach out and almost make it look like that."
