Oh yeah, that's a good point about what Laisa might be feeling about having kids.
Though I wonder if anyone has talked to Gregor about having too MANY branches of the family tree and what it will do to the future inheritance problems, but Ivan will point out that it makes it easier for everyone else to avoid being in line for the throne if Gregor has a bunch of kids. ;-)
I do think Gregor would have as many girls as they can, just to make a subtle point about women's place in Barrayaran society - his daughters are going to be doing more than just marry well, so maybe someday his grand-daughter will become Emperor.
