It's a good point. I know a few Christian women who are very much into the whole mothering thing. Some of them find the idea of an eternity without new babies rather distressing.
I expect to be too busy to worry about it. A likely outcome of effectively being heirs of the creator might be to do some creating ourselves (I say 'might' as it's speculation that's outside the realms of more orthodox Christian theology). I certainly expect eternal life to be very different from life now anyway.
Edit: The other thing that is expected is a fundamental change in human nature. There are plenty of unanswered questions though. No mater whether a person's basis for believing in Jesus is reasoned or unreasoned an element of faith, trust or mystery has to appear somewhere down the line. Personally, the idea that God is actively deceptive seems more likely to me than of him not existing. I choose to trust him. I am aware of some of the implications of me being wrong. After the death of his wife, CS Lewis's doubt was not on the existence of God but on whether he was indeed genuinely good.
