IRN and future addition of children, any advice?

I have a wonderful (at least to me) IRN. She is very agressive to anyone/anything that she thinks is taking attention away from her.

My husband and I would like to have children in the somewhat near future and I am concerned. I do not know how she will react to having a baby in the house and I don't want her to injure a child, nor do I want to rehome her unless there is no choice.

I do not want her to feel replaced, or to be unhappy. Right now, with my other birds she is extremely agressive. In fact, I know that in her previous home she let herself out of her cage and killed another IRN. I don't want this agressive streak to be transfered to children as well. She cannot open her cage, but I still worry.

Is there anyone out there that has any advice or expierence with this?
