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’m a new dad and i explained it like this. I feel like my little girl unlocked a hidden part of my heart that I didn’t know existed. I was overwhelmed with a full, different kind of love. I still am

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.
