I am now expecting my second baby but I was thinking back the other day about how I knew nothing of what to expect when the baby came home so here's a few tips for you first timers:
Don't ask your wife if you can help around the house just do it. Wash the dishes, fold the laundry whatever needs to be done.
Keep a running grocery list on the fridge so if you are out you can pick up what's needed.
Before baby comes stock up on everday neccesities like toilet paper, soap, deodorant, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent and paper towels. It's way easier than having to run out for them later when you forget that you have run out.
This is one for before the baby comes but pick a few recipes that you both like that freeze well. Take a few Saturdays to make up a batch or two of these dishes and freeze them. Don't worry there will still be plenty of frozen dinners, fast food, and sandwiches in your future but at least this way you have a few options!
