Dan, just looking at when you are due - why don't you pop some soups in the freezer as well? They make a great lunch when you're flat out with a newborn and also an easy dinner. I made a big batch of cream of cauliflower on the weekend for lunches and lazy dinners. Pea and Ham freezes well and so does chicken noodle.

Also, I made a couple of batches of a basic mince (veggies, onion, garlic, herbs) and froze. When I defrost it, if I want to use it for lasange or spag bol I add a couple of tins of pureed tomato when reheating it and simmer. Or add gravy if I want to use it in a pie. Very versatile.

Another thing I put in the freezer was a batch of premade rissoles (homemade). They freeze really well and DH can cook them. Again, super versatile - you can have them with veg, or cook in a basic pasta sauce and add to pasta, or make hamburgers with them.

HTH!
