When Do You First Love Your Kids?

When I was preparing for the birth of my first kid, my entire life - decades - as a non-parent had lead me to assume that immediate love - ‘love at first sight’ - for my new kid was normal…a commonly shared experience between all parents. I expected that seeing my kid(s) being born would hit me like the Grinch deciding to give back the presents - sudden, physical heart growth…Bam! This is Love!

But is that normal? Or is that even so rare that it's actually weird to feel that?
