Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yet a uterus at rest? Teeny tiny thing.
This is true. It's when it's in use that it gets large. The books telling you cheerfully what's going on inside attempt to compare it to various things to give you an idea. "This week, your uterus is the size of an orange!" "This week, your uterus is the size of a grapefruit!" and so on until they run out of common citrus fruits and suddenly "This week, your uterus is the size of a soccer ball!"
Gronk.
Morning.
Happy ita day.
eagerly looking for distractions. work options are so not interesting.
soooooooo...something to kill some time.
What was one thing that you got as a gift this past year that still makes you smile?
I was treated to dinners a few times this year when I both really needed the company and when the gesture of buying my meal was greatly appreciated. I doubt my friends and family realize that the pizza, burger, or BBQ meant as much as it did, but that is part of why I love them so much.
"This week, your uterus is the size of a grapefruit!" and so on until they run out of common citrus fruits and suddenly "This week, your uterus is the size of a soccer ball!"
Pomelo is the week between grapefruit and soccer ball, no?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ita!
Pomelo is the week between grapefruit and soccer ball, no?
The last pomelo I saw was about the size of a soccer ball... (there's a several week gap between grapefruit and soccerball, mind, and the books aren't sophisticated enough for all that fancy stuff, else we'd have durian week and perhaps even breadfruit.)
My silliest Xmas gift was striped cookie monster toe-socks. Yes, Nutty, I'm lookin' at YOU. They make me smile, but feel funny to wear.
Happy birthday to ita and those I've missed in the last few days. We seem to have a lot of end/beginning you the year birthdays.
At forty weeks, your uterus is the size of a soccer field. Or feels like it.

I was mostly kidding, just because I've recently learned what a pomelo is, after being totally freaked out in the grocery store.
And I got many gifts from friends this summer when I lost my job, both tangible and not, which I appreciated a great deal. On a more shallow note, I got a lovely necklace for Christmas.
Happy Birthday ita!!!!

Oh, I figured, but I'd been thinking of pomelos when I listed the various things leading up to soccer balls, on account of just how huge the ones I saw two days ago were.
The were serious pomelos. Bigger than my head, literally.
