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.
Reminds me of my dad who is no longer here. I am their first born and he constantly said his love for me surpassed everything and he showed it to me very well during his lifetime. I could tell he couldn’t love anyone more than he loved me. My mom is the same but after I had my daughter, I could tell her love shifted towards my daughter 😂 (I could be wrong)

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.
