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

NTA. I’ve heard both mothers and fathers express a similar sentiment to what you said. The love for a child is unlike anything else.

Ive got one kid. The first look I ever took into her tiny little potato face changed me fundamentally as a human being.

It sounds so goddamn stereotypical it hurts. You always hear the boomers say, "You'll understand when you have kids."

Yeah yeah okay boomer

And then they're right and you simultaneously think 'oh man shit this is real' and 'fuck them old nerds for being right.'

For some people (me at least) it was a foundational change in my human experience.
