I have a feeling I am in the easiest stage for a long time- at 8.5 months, c can entertain herself with her toys for good stretches of time, and has been napping and sleeping pretty well at night, but she isn't crawling and gettig into everything. I still said it's alright- I don't think parenting is usually easy.
I sah and while being home with her is more challenging than my old job, and certainly comes with longer hours, I am much happier and more fulfilled than I was.
The good by far outweighs the bad now. Months 2-4 or so were really really really hard!

@Beyond2: I do think it's cuz we are pregnant! I think I may have voted quite difficult if I wasn't pregnant with twin toddlers!

Easier than expected, though not easy-peasy. I think I had it worked out to be dreadful, so it was actually a nice surprise.

Two newborns? Damn near impossible. Now? Difficult, but way more awesome. I definitely think there is a perception issue in addition to a kid personality issue at play- I know some women with many children (triplets, actually) who think its not that bad, and I know others with one kid who complain about how it is impossible to do anything at all.

I voted easy, but I'm not counting this weekend which would definitely put me into an "omg wtf" bracket. Otherwise, it's been a smooth ride so far.

It's all relative, but I voted alright! I think it takes some adjusting to get to the point where it's alright...and in my mind it is certainly never easy considering life before a baby! All so worth it! Even if being a mom comes with new stresses and complications, life is so much more rewarding with my LO in it.
