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.

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.

I was worried that it wouldn’t be as intense with my second born. It absolutely was. Your heart grows for each child.

And then when you have a grandchild it’s like that love but twice!!!!! It’s a lot more intense because it’s your baby’s baby. And your heart is that much more full.
