I have a 21 month old and an 11 week old. Without enough help, it is difficult to have two little ones. They are both in diapers and I'm breastfeeding the baby. Sometimes the older one wakes up when I'm in with the baby and my hubbies a deep sleeper. So someone is always left crying for some period of time. My personal recommendation is to wait, but that is just me. You may be able to handle it better. You just need to prepare yourself for constant work as a mommy to two.
Also, don't get your heart set on a girl, it just might not happen (coming from a mom of 3 boys). Enjoy your son and this time of him being a baby. You've just gotten to the start of a lot of great fun at 6 months old. The best is just right around the corner!

OMG to have two is a frightening prospect!! Just the one is a handful. Moms who are able to be there for both, or more should earn a medal...thoses that are good moms that is. As I have begun to learn having babies is a lot easier than raising them.
I too have a baby boy, and as I look at him I cannot imagine loving anyone else more, he is my little baby and I can't fathom having another. but he is still very young yet, perhaps when he is my big boy then I can get it into my head having another.
I also would like a girl but I am so happy that I had a boy. he is my little man.
Boys will always love their mama's

My best friend has 2 kids that are 15 months apart. She said it was REALLY hard the first 2 years the kids were together, but now it is getting easier becasue the kids play with each other. Her kids are 3 (going to be 4 in October) and 2(going to be 3 in January).

I have 2 boys 11 1/2 months apart in age. And it is the best thing they keep each other busy and are best friends. They always have a playmate. They are 8 and 9 now.

My only advice is to make sure that your first child is potty-trained and can be independent before having the second one. My friend has a 2 year-old who hasn't begun potty-training yet, and she is so spoiled that she doesn't speak at all yet either. She won't stay in a room by herself and cannot stand being away from her mother. Now that my friend has a brand new baby, it's hell on her. Prepare yourself and your existing child for a new baby!

Every women wants to have a girl to have that mother-daughter connection but---- be happy with boy or girl as long as they are healthy. That is all that matters. I have a 7 month old son, and he is enough work. I couldn't imagine another baby at the moment. Take your time and enjoy your son for awhile. It goes so fast!!!

I waited till my first son was 2 1/2 before trying..my second was born by the time he was 3 1/2 ...for us this was good spacing...they are close in age enough that they play well together, but not so close that i had them in diapers at the same time (or had to potty train or deal with terrible twos at the same time!) My cousin had babies one year apart, and in some ways it's good I'm sure-get it all done at once sort of thing... but she didn't have much outside family help, so she was exhausted till they started school. And two babies at once are expensive..the diapers, formula...baby food....unless your age is an issue (approaching or in 40's.)I'm all for spacing. it seems better for Mom.....good luck!

If you think you can handle it, go for it. Kids close in age will play together better when they are a little older.
Tooblessed........That child you're speaking of is not spoiled, it's called developmentally delayed, and is not typical anymore for a 2 year old to be that speech delayed, no interest in potty training, and attached to momlike that.

Whenever you feel is right. I wasn't lucky enough to have my two close in age. let me just say that it is hard to get back into the baby things after 6 years, so I'd say earlier is easier. Just make sure to start taking prenatal vitamins before you start trying. I'm sure you can handle it. good luck
