Single Mom thinking of #2

I was lucky enough to get pregnant on my second try with donor 850R. I have a healthy 8 month baby boy and am debating on trying for number two with the same donor next year. I am a single mom who decided I had waited long enough to start my family and decided to do it on my own.
I'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat and how much harder it is to be a single mom of two? How far apart did you space yours? I'm currently planning a 2 year age gap.

Charlese was born on June 17, 2017 at 8:33 AM. She was the most gorgeous baby I've ever seen. She came into this world weighing 7 lbs and 5ozs. She was 19 1/2 inches.
Will try for #2 around September 2019! I’m ready to complete my family!
Honestly, two tiny kids is difficult as a single parent. It was more jarring than the move from no children to one child. So happy I did it, but I feel the lack of that second adult when they are having a meltdown or we are venturing out into public. You have to adjust to the fact that you can’t give both kids 100% of your time, like you could with one. My older daughter has had a rough time with that. BUT, she’s starting to have a playmate now with her little sis, and that is filling some of that gap. It’s worth it, but it can be overwhelming at first! Best of luck!
as a single child myself, I hated being alone and wished I had a sibling. as a mother of several children but with NO family, I really needed to have a sibling to deal with the death of parents and being so "alone" in the world besides my children (I made my own family)
I would say do it.
