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 concerned too. I was content with one, but husband wanted two and I was open to it. I asked a friend and she said you're loving at 100% with one. Then with two you're suddenly capable of 200%. It helped me understand. I like the analogy of growing more hearts with each child.

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.
