I Am a Quiet Observant Person
I was home for Christmas and saw a bunch of family. At a gathering I noticed my cousin constantly fiddling with her cardigan. She was trying to be discreet but that's what made it so obvious to me. "Ah, self conscious about her tummy. I bet she's pregnant," I thought to myself.
Just saw the announcement. She's expecting her third.
Happy for her and her hubby.

It reminded me of another story. A friend at work was telling me about the wedding she was part of the previous weekend, for a colleague who is on my floor. At the end of the story I asked "When is she due?" My friend was shocked "[X] hasn't gone public with that yet! How did you know?" (The friend knew, she was in the wedding after all.)
"Her walk," I said. "She was walking differently."
This friend is the same one who was shocked when I asked about how things were with the new boyfriend. I told her I knew she was dating again when she started getting her nails done.
The world is full of information if you are quiet and pay attention.
