Also, do you live near friends/family. Maybe it was just our situation, but we had people volunteer to bring meals (fresh and frozen) that we did not end up needing to cook for two weeks. You could do some meatballs, stuffing for bell peppers (and just buy th bell peppers when you need them), pulled pork, etc. Not for freezing, but rotisserie chicken is good for one meal and then using leftovers for chicken salad, tacos, tossed with barbecue sauce for sandwiches, etc and have some easy meals. Add some big bags of frozen vegetables and mix/match.
We used our sous vide a good bit. Since it cooks to temperature, it worked well that meal would not overcook. If we targeted to finish at 6 it would finish at 6 and then we could eat anywhere from 6-8 just leaving in sous vide until ready to eat.

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions.
One thing is that I love to cook and primarily do the cooking in the house. I cook and she does the dishes so I imagine I'll be doing the dishes for at least a little while. I'm trying to limit the dishes I have to do so we hit up Costco for disposable plates and utensils too. So, it's kind of a selfish thing for me that once my 2 weeks are up and I return back to work, I'd prefer to be able to spend time with the baby instead of cooking. With the individually frozen portions, my wife can easily toss the foodsaver bag in boiling water or defrost and pop the servings in the toaster oven.
Like I said, I love to cook so I'm certainly not going to stop that and am looking forward to having my kid in the kitchen watching and eventually helping out and learning to cook.
This is more so that we have plenty of other options for a quick meal so I don't Have to cook
I'm not a huge fan of sous vide but I definitely like the idea of premade crockpot meals that can be thrown in that morning.
