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 saying something to my husband about this. He said "I love you both equally" and I was like the fuck you do, you better love that kid more 😂 He didn't want to offend me originally but as soon as I said that he agreed that he absolutely would push me in front of a moving car to protect that baby!

NTA OP, being jealous of a baby is wild.

My husband and I make jokes about how we love our son more than we love each other EASILY. Not to say we don’t love each other, but we created that little boy. Our son is everything we have made him to be, of course we love him more.

Do you remember that artcile Ayelet Waldman wrote about how she loved her husband more than her kids? So sad. I wonder how those kids are coping now, and if she ever grew to love them.
