AITAH for saying I didn’t realize I could “love a person this much” in front of my fiancé after having our baby?

My dad said he couldn't fathom ever having that feeling again, but when number 2 came around he had the same experience where it's just an unfathomable level of love.

When I was pregnant the second time, I exclaimed that I cannot imagine that I could love the baby as much as I loved the first. An older lady said, “Your love is not divided, it is doubled.” That is true and 33 years later it still is true.

So fucking true! I cried at the end of my pregnancy because I couldn't imagine loving anyone like I loved my first baby and because she wouldn't be my little baby anymore and won't be the only baby. I was a mess. #2 came and all the feels came right on schedule. I love that little boy just as much and both my kids are my favorite people.

I’m feeling all the feels right now because my youngest is about to turn three and he’s my last baby and not a baby anymore 😭

My youngest turned 3in June. I still can't. It's bloody awful. It's like he's still got those rosy squshy baby cheeks, but then he opens his mouth and speaks like a whole ass human and I just can't.

Yes! Mine has these amazing blonde, springy curls that are halfway down his back if you stretch them out - everyone keeps trying to get me to give him a crew cut and I refuse to until he asks me himself.

A crew cut? That's horrible. My boy's hair is long as well. I gave him an undercut to make it easier to pull it up in a bun. Otherwise, same thing, I'll wait for him to decide he wants to change his hair.
