re: Baby coming, need help with frozen meal ideas

I don't know, we just had our third on the 4th and my wife's body is used to having babies now but when she had her first, she didn't want to (and couldn't really) stand for decent periods of time in front of a stove to cook, so while I think you'll have plenty of time in the beginning to cook with your first your wife may just not feel like it.

Do you have an immersion circulator by any chance? If you do, there's tons of proteins you can cook ahead of time, freeze and re-heat in the unit. If you don't have one of those, then the suggestions for lasagna and other pasta dishes were on point for us. My advice would be to stock up on items that take a long time to cook but don't have a lot of prep time, so like tenfoe said, especially roasts are great because you're at home all day and can get a roast and some baked potatoes in the oven in 10 minutes and have plenty of time to do so ahead of time.

Good luck! My advice? Swaddle that kiddo like a little baby burrito and teach him/her to sleep. And don't let anyone shame you into thinking a pacifier is a bad thing.
