Carrie Underwood Surprised Motherhood Easier Than Expected

— -- Carrie Underwood walked the CMT carpet Wednesday night and looked stunning just months after giving birth to son Isaiah Michael.

Now, the country star is adding that motherhood has been much easier than she thought it would be.

"I expected the worst,” she told People magazine. “I’ve never been around babies before, to be honest, but he’s so laid back!”

Underwood, 32, said it has been going pretty well for her and husband Mike Fisher three months after giving birth.

"It surprised me that it’s a little easier than I thought it was going to be,” she added. “I think I just expected, like, screaming, crying baby all the time, and he’s just happy and smiley and gorgeous ... He’s a morning baby. He is smiley and laugh-y and happy and cuddly and that hour, the first hour he’s awake, is just the best.”

At the CMT Awards Wednesday, Underwood made sure to acknowledge her bundle of joy.

"This is my first awards show since little Isaiah has been in the world," Underwood said, according to The Associated Press. "I'm sure he's napping on the bus right now, but I should definitely say that he has already inspired me so much as well as has my husband, Mike."
