Pregnancy is one of the beautiful experiences couples can go through. That applies for fathers as well and not just mothers, it's such a unique and special kind of love that can help couples bond on an even deeper level.

Creating another life can be surreal, scary, and exciting at the same time and it instantly begins changing your life. Anna Belenkiy is a freelance digital artist who goes by the username annabell_illustration on Instagram. Anna recently started experiencing pregnancy for the first time ever, and she made sure to document her journey with the help of our favorite Disney princesses. These illustrations are part of her project “Real-life princesses,” scroll down and check them out!

1. Jasmine & Aladdin

"Today we discovered the gender of the baby and the father started crying. Isn't that adorable?! I wanted to dedicate this illustration to all the sensitive daddies, you are the best!"

2. Cinderella & Prince Charming

“What the hell is wrong with me? Can it be fixed?! I find myself hysterically crying about everything! My tears can fill a bathtub. I decided to capture the moment of me and my husband and illustrate us as Cinderella and her prince as a day in my life.”

3. Ariel & Eric

“Morning sickness that continues all day long is a huge part of my daily life as a pregnant woman. My dearest husband decided to capture this 'precious' moment on video in order to show it to our child in the future. So thank you for this unforgettable capture.”

4. Belle

“Belle forgot all her French manners while craving some French fries, as did I… who knew fried food can bring out the Beast in you?”

5. Mulan & Shang

“Mulan and Shang Lee decided to celebrate super romantic Valentine's Day, but the upcoming baby warrior had a different plan for their romantic date. This illustration was inspired by my baby's first kicks.”

6. Rapunzel & Flynn

“So I wanted to talk about the elephant in the room:

I imagined my pregnancy real gentle and magical. No one prepared me for the fact that I would be a huge gas balloon without any control over it, so I’m here to tell you the whole truth about it.

At this point, I can definitely say that the romance is gone.”

7. Ariel

“They said pregnancy makes you glow and pretty, glow and pretty my ass! It looks like I haven't slept for ages. When I look at the mirror, she screams back at me and begs me to stop! And what is the deal with all the pimples? I had less when I was a teenager! Only Ariel feels my pregnancy pain.”

8. Mulan & Shang

“This incredible and magical moment that you realize you're about to create new life and bring it into this world is one of a kind and Mulan decided to surprise Shang Lee for Christmas with a super unique present. Congratulations to the future Mommy and Daddy.”

9. Princess Tiana

“Oh god, I just realized that all of my pants no longer fit and, since we're in lockdown, there is no place to buy new pants, so until my online orders arrive, I’m stuck!”
