It will be a big change once the baby comes. Newborn babies need feeding and diaper change often so it will be a big challenge to work and take care of the baby at the same time. But hey, you never know. Maybe you will be super dad and can handle everything just right! Best wishes!
It can be done. Be organized and get a good monitor so you can listen with one ear while you work. I have a special needs infant since she was 4 months old. She is now 9 months old. I work outside the home 40-60 hours/week, do all the housecleaning, shopping, meal prep, landscape stuff, make the baby food -- no jar food from the store -- I mean cook and puree it (freeze it in ice cube trays and then in ziplock baggies), take care of the baby and work with her. Yep, I`m down on the floor at her level . . .
and still I`m starting my own home business online. Just be organized. If breastfeeding, then pump and store in the freezer so both parents can feed. Otherwise, make up a day`s supply of bottles at one time and refrigerate. Put diapers and a changing station-desk top, washing machine top, or where it is convenient for you. New babies sleep 15-20 hours/day. That`s the easy time. Mine is 9 months old and crawls everywhere and loves to reorganize everything onto the floor from the coffee table!
If I can do this as a single parent -- so can you. One recommendation ENJOY YOUR SLEEP NOW 
sinced you won`t be getting any once the baby arrives. They are wonderful little beings completely dependant on you and they will totally turn your life upside down!
