Baby # 2

Husband has told me he is ready to try again for #2. Only problem is I am still breastfeeding baby #1 which is about to be 8 months. I am physically ready I suppose to try again, but I am also worried about having to stop breastfeeding our son and losing that bond. I also will spend half of this pregnancy alone due to my husband working in another state until May. I did my first pregnancy pretty well, there were no issues and I went to appointments alone. I am just nervous to actually say hey we are having a second baby even though we just had our first. I feel like people will judge. I did want them to be close in age but I at least wanted my son to be a year before trying. Idk what to do I am stuck.
