Again?! The fruitful and multiply mitzvah is not in my capability. Can't a sister get a little slack here?
The resolution I have been able to come up with is: teaching a k/1 class in the religious school at my temple. I can serve our community by helping our young ones learn our torah.

Diana, The Talmud in Sanhedrin 19b says: "R. Samuel b. Nahmani said in R. Jonathan's name: He who teaches the son of his neighbour the Torah, Scripture ascribes it to him as if he had begotten him, as it says, Now, these are the generations of Aaron and Moses;37 whilst further on it is written, These are the names of the sons of Aaron: thus ...
