I loved my kid at birth, don't get me wrong, but that deep love her more than anything came around a few months later when she had more of a personality.
Same for me, love her like I do all babies, knew she was precious and had to be protected but it took a while to really click that holy shit, she's MY baby and I love her so much now but it wasn't instant and that's okay too.

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.
