Artist Chronicles Pregnancy Journey Through Disney Princess Drawings (9 Pics)
Dive into the whimsical world of motherhood as artist captures the magic of pregnancy through beloved Disney princesses.
Anna Belenkiy, also recognized as annabell_illustration on Instagram, is a talented freelance digital artist venturing into the realms of pregnancy for the first time. Instead of keeping this journey to herself, she's opted to share it with her followers in a uniquely creative manner.
Through her project titled "Real-life Princesses," she intertwines the enchantment of Disney Princesses with the comical realities of everyday pregnancy. It's a charming and lighthearted portrayal that adds a touch of magic to the beautiful chaos of expecting a baby.
1. Dry Your Tears
"I'm starting to wonder what's going on with me. Is there a fix for this?! It seems like I'm crying over every little thing lately. I mean, my tears could practically fill a bathtub! So, I had this idea: I'm illustrating a moment with my husband, portraying us as Cinderella and her prince. It's just a glimpse into my daily life at this point."
2. Let's Get Real
"Let's Address the Elephant in the Room:
I envisioned my pregnancy as this gentle, magical journey. But nobody warned me about becoming a gas balloon with zero control! So, here's the raw truth about it all.
At this stage, I can safely say: the romance? Yeah, it's gone."
3. A Moment Every Mom-to-Be Can Understand
"Dealing with all-day morning sickness has become a major part of my daily routine during pregnancy. My loving husband thought it would be a great idea to capture this 'precious' moment on video, intending to show it to our child in the future. So, here's to you, dear husband, for this unforgettable footage."

4. When Etiquette Goes Out the Window
"Belle threw caution to the wind, ditching her French manners for some French fries, and I must admit, I did the same... Who knew fried food could awaken the beast within?"
5. Every Journey Begins with a Dream, Just Like Any Other...
"This extraordinary and enchanting moment when you realize you're about to welcome new life into the world is truly unparalleled. Mulan had a surprise in store for Shang Lee this Christmas—a gift as unique as it gets. Congratulations to the future Mommy and Daddy."

6. Farewell, Skinny Pants
"Oh no, it just hit me that none of my pants fit anymore, and with us being in lockdown, there's nowhere to grab new ones. Looks like I'm stuck waiting for my online orders to arrive!"
7. The Myth of Pregnancy Glow
"They talk about pregnancy making you glow and look pretty, but let me tell you, that's a load of nonsense! I look like I haven't slept in years. When I glance in the mirror, it's like a horror movie. My reflection screams back at me, begging me to stop! And don't even get me started on the pimples. I had fewer of those when I was a teenager! It's like only Ariel understands my pregnancy struggles."
8. A Tribute to the Dads
"Today we found out the baby's gender, and guess who started shedding tears? The father! Isn't that just adorable?! This illustration is dedicated to all the sensitive daddies out there—you're simply the best!"
9. Honoring the First Moments
Mulan and Shang Lee had anticipated a wonderfully romantic Valentine's Day, but their upcoming little warrior had other plans for their evening. This illustration captures the essence of those first precious kicks, a gentle reminder of the new journey ahead.
