    What is funny is that my current wife is worried that I won't bond as much with my new daughter because I won't have to pace the floor with her all night.

My Uncle has three kids and he often talks about how he bonded with each one more than the last. Every child before taught him not to take for granted the little moments with the next, and the effect compounded. I don't know if that applies in general, but it sort of makes sense to me. You get better at things the more you do them. Why should bonding with your child technically be any different?

Perhaps but I should hope I love them the same.

I think you will.

I don't think he loves one more than the other, but rather has become progressively more mindful of opportunities that pass by too quickly.
