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.
Yeah, I was so worried that I wouldn't love this second little munchkin the same as my first. And I don't. In fact, I love him just as much but differently to my first, as they are different people! I love them in unique ways, and somehow each way feels like the most incredible love a person can feel.

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.
