Whoahhhh, slow down! Are you engaged, has he proposed? I don't have kids, and the first few years of marriage was plenty for me. I can see why so many marriages end up in divorce when people have kids without even giving their marriage a chance.
Also, not to sound all Dr. Phil on you, but the best predictor of future behavior is the past. My husband was a SLOB when we dated, and um, that hasn't really changed much. He was always trying to help though, and that hasn't changed either.
I've had my fair share of stints with kids, and no, I don't think hanging out downing beers will be good for your baby, or you, or your relationship - when the kid is sick, tired, cranky, not sleeping, throwing up, and wanting attention for every second they are awake.
