I don't think I have any good advice on how the two of you should decide whether or not to have children. It sounds to me like you're already taking a sound approach, and I certainly think that you can't repress these feelings; much better to acknowledge them. Just remember you can't really make a wrong decision in this circumstance; regardless of which way y'all decide to go, you can choose to regret not taking the other path, or you can choose to embrace the one you're on. It does sound to me like there's a lot going on right now that might reasonably be acerbating the situation; biological clock and similar psychological factors, close friends having children, and so forth. I think the best thing you can do is what you're already doing; be aware of it, take time and let it marinate, and let the decision come to you.
As for a logical reason to have children, which is not specifically tied to a consider of genetics and preservation of an appropriately stocked gene pool; some have argued that giving birth is one of the primary ways in which humans can achieve a state of quasi-immortality. Make of it what you will, but I think its an interesting concept.
