Good description, buckling. I hope she's got a husband to help with the
load. My mom had her first 10 kids within 2-1/2 years of each other
and said "it's hard when they're young, but nicer when they're older."
Whatever.

Don't discount PB&J sandwiches -- they'll keep in the fridge for a few
days. Bring her a 3-days lunches supply. Macaroni hotdish?
Hamburger patties that she can nuke and stick in a bun? Roast beef hash
that just needs browning in a skillet? For now, I'd think about what
the kids would eat -- bring her some flowers to demonstrate your
admiration. :-)
