The body breaks | Get Messy Art Journal

Paper Nerd Art Journal | Get Messy Art Journal Challenge #getmessyartjournalchallenge by Nina Christensen

Hey paper nerds.

My art journal spreads have become the weekly personal feature. So here’s what’s been going on with me lately…

You may have guessed it. Since last Saturday I’ve been having some weird pregnancy pains. I fear it might be the pelvic joints. I get these jabs of pain if I move the wrong way (particularly bending over) and they leave me walking around like I wet my pants for a while… until I forget to be careful and end up hurting myself all over again. Rinse and repeat.

You’d think 5 days of that would teach me to take it easy. Nope.

I should be more careful. But my youth taught me that I can get away with not taking care of myself. In spite of my pain I still don’t feel ready to act and start working out. Completely ridiculous.

Yes, I totally misspelled ‘ridiculous’. No auto-correct in art journals… boo.

I’ve been feeling quite sorry for myself. In my last pregnancy I felt super healthy and this one’s also been smooth up until now. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll go take a walk now. My body doesn’t allow for too much activity just yet but I refuse to sit here and shrivel.

Have a great day, friends. And if you have any advice for this kind of thing don’t hesitate to share. Much appreciated! <3

    Walking is definitely and good thing. It kins of sounds like you are tweeking your sciatic nerve. Not much you can do, but ride it out I think…
