Am on maternity leave - need ideas for making food to freeze for when baby arrives!

Thats it really. I like cooking and want to fill my little freezer with food for after the baby arrives. (I think time for cooking may be limited in first few weeks!)
Today I have made a big fish pie to be portioned up and frozen, and am planning on a lasagna, and Cottage pie. What other food can I make to separate into portions and freeze? Ideally things that are easy to make alot of eg 1 lasagna makes 4 meals.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks,

Lentil soup.

Fry up some onions, add veg stock and carrots then yellow split peas/lentils until all cooked and lovely, season it how you like and that's it! Easy to make and easy to eat! And nutritiuos and filling too!

Also beef casserole or stew freezes really well. You could use some of your base mince sauce from lasagna/cottage pie to make a chilli too.

beef stew, chicken casserole, some sort of curry,

I did the same on mat leave 1st time round

Made all of your suggestions, plus chilli, curry, chick pea casserole (basically like ratatouille + chick peas + cumin + coconut milk, little chilli etc), goulash, lentil moussaka.

Also bought some last minute emergency things like those cod in butter sauce in plastic bag things that DH could manage to cook prepare himself
