Prepping meals Are you preparing any meals before labor? What are you making? Are you freezing them?

I'll make a few things like chicken and rice casseroles and some crockpot meals. But I got a bunch of Costco things like frozen lasagna, orange chicken, burritos for snacks.

Very good idea. I think I'll be doing this too. Crockpot ideas.

No, hubby cooks in my house, he's absolutely fantastic so no need for me.

On top of some of the meals above I also plan to bake banana nut bread and a few loaves of honey bread to freeze for mornings and late night snacks. My cousin also suggested pre cutting and vac sealing/bagging fruit in snack sizes that can be taken out the night before to avoid spending a bunch of money of pre sliced stuff at the store.

Definitely!! Have my game plan all laid out. But keep in mind homemade freezer food only has a shelf life of 3-4 months. If trying to stock up for post baby days, starting in your second trimester may not be the way to go...

OP looks like you're almost to the finish line! (Jealous!) There is a great site out there that helps lay out the do's and dont's of freezer meal prep. I, of course, can't remember what it is but it's easy to find on google.

Each week I'm making a huge pot of soup or chili and I jar them up! It tastes so good! I'm planning on freezing some marinated chicken and lasagna.

Lasagna, meat loaf, enchiladas, I prepared spaghetti sauce and taco meat, soups, and different crock pot recipes. I also made a huge batch of mashed potatoes and put them into quart size bags

I love this idea. Can you ladies list some of the food you cooked and froze ?

I did with my first and will do it here soon with second. I did several meatloafs. Just froze in those metal pans and popped in oven. I also did two big crockpots of soup and some spaghetti sauce. Pinterest is super helpful for freezer meals.

Im nt mainy coz i dnt like the taste of sumthing reheated and with my first daughter i got so bored at home all the time i found i had alot of time to make dinners/bake

Following.

I did with my last two and will again. I like to get about 30 meals in the freezer. They are so nice to have those first few weeks when you're exhausted and trying to get into a good routine

Definitely. Not sure what all I will make yet. Lasagna and soups is what I have in mind so far. I will also look on pinterest for recipes, everything that can be put in freezer and heated later
