Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot.

Data point
I have a dozen older siblings and none younger.
Draw what conclusions you will.

The new (and last) one gets the most attention (?)

It is a mite unusual these days...
...but it isn't as bad as it sounds. Most of those are half siblings.
But family reunions get complex. ;-)

The first one is the prototype
by the next child or so, the parents finally get it right in raising up a child.
I have a four year old son, only child, and it has been quite an experience raising him. Anyone got any pointers? We thought he'd outgrow things after the terrible threes, but he still has some behavior issues.

You don't make the same mistakes...
...with the second, third, nth child - you manage to make all new mistakes. :-)
YMMV, but a common tale is that the first child will take after the father, the second after the mother, and the third will be affected most by the relationship between father and mother (don't know how it plays out after that). No scientific basis for this conclusion - the anectdotal evidence with our kids leads me to think it might have some truth.
So based on that superstition, I'd say admin is in for a child that takes after the mother. Congratulations. :-)
