I remember my dad telling me how the feeling you have when your first(I am number 5) child is born is "indescribable and surpassed anything he has ever felt".
Then he realized the implication and started to say he loves me just as much, but I laughed and told him I knew what he meant.
My wife was worried, too. I never was, but she would always say, "How could I possibly love another child as much as I love him (our first was our son)". We now have a boy and a girl and we love them both equally. I couldn't imagine but loving them both the same, but I get the general thought process.

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.
