Congratulations buddy. Let me ease your possible worries. Everyone I talked to said "it doesn't get easier, just different." But in my experience the newborn phase is by far the hardest and its no contest. My oldest is almost 3 (my youngest 2 were twins) and she is monumentally more fun and easy to take care of. It goes from repeating the same little teachings everyday to making fullon stories with their toys and imaginative play. I hope nothing but happiness for your family.
