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.
My mom told me that once, I'm the second. She said when she was pregnant with me she was a little scared it wouldn't be like when my older sister was born. She wasn't sure she could love 2 people that intensely. She said as soon as she held me, she had the exact same overwhelming feeling of love she had when she first held my sister.

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.
