If you want to number your paragraphs without creating lists then you need to put a backslash before the dot: 1\. whatever. Backslashes tell the markdown parser to just use the character that follows it as actual content rather than as formatting, and the dot is the part that creates a list.
The better solution is to create the list in the normal way and include multiple paragraphs in each list item by indenting the first line of each additional paragraph by four spaces. This tells the parser that the next paragraph is a continuation of the list item. Here's an example code:
1. This is the first paragraph
This is the second paragraph.
And how it renders (block quote added for clarity):
