The universe was a bit bigger then that

vary, during any time other than just the inflationary period of the
Big Bang?
* That is, once the observable universe was "the size of a grapefruit,"
did it expand quickly again? Or is all of the observable universe due
to steadily accelerating expansion over a long time from the time when
the observable universe was the size of a grapefruit?
* I understand that the amount of "stuff" we can see inside the
observable universe is shrinking, due to the expansion of the universe.
Was it always that way? Was it always the case that we were able to
see less and less and less?
