When's the "easier" part?

Our girl is 6 weeks old and it's been a real challenge. I won't get into specifics because you've heard it all before. It really boils down to total physical and mental fatigue, and any time we talk to other parents it's always the same reassurance: "It gets easier." Now, we are forever grateful for the support and advice we're offered, but when does it truly get easier? It just seems like from what we've read and learned, every age group presents its own unique challenges. I was surprised to hear that the newborn stage isn't even considered by most parents to be the hardest stage of parenting! Now I'm not so naive to believe that parenting is supposed to be easy, but when can we realistically expect to see any sort of relief?
