English term or phrase: love orb

Ich übersetze ein Interview mit einem Mann, der über seinen Kinderwunsch spricht, und weiss nicht, wie ich diesen Begriff ins Deutsche transportieren kann. Liebeskugel oder Liebesball geht wohl nicht. Ich möchte gerne das Wort Liebe beibehalten.

What do I get in exchange for giving it [his career] up? The *love orb*. This mass of soft sweet-smelling baby thing that eventually adores you and you adore and that you share in adoration.

Sehr schön, passt auch zu "orb" weil beide etwas ungewöhnliche Worte sind. Vielen Dank.

Liebesknäuel

Explanation:
„Liebesknäuel“ könnte man es vielleicht auch nennen (evtl. auch „Liebesknuddel“; „Schmuseknäuel“?). Das hört man mitunter auch als Beschreibung für besonders niedliche Haustiere und würde wohl für ein Baby auch ganz gut passen.
