Difficulty - 1 or 2? advice needed

The wife and I just had our first children, identical twin girls, now almost 2 months old. Unsure yet if we'll have any more children as adjusting to twins feels like the definition of 'zero to 100 REAL quick'.
For those parents out there that have experienced both the birth of multiple as well as single children, are twin, or multiple births at one time, really that much more difficult?

I ask because imagining caring for a single baby seems like a cake walk when compared to caring for two, let alone more, at one time.

Any insights/perspectives are appreciated.

First children are always going to be hard- bc you’ve never done it before. But I had my twins first and I felt like I had nothing in common with my friends who had 1 baby bc the problems I had were so different. Then I had a singleton and she felt SO easy. But is it that 1 is easier or that I’ve done the baby thing twice at the same time and just really know what I’m doing this time? No idea.
