I don't really expect it to be any different in my family. If I can get a babysitter, I will probably be able to do some of the things I did before I was pregnant (hiking, cycling, canoeing). But I am one hundred percent sure that my husband will keep doing those things with or without a babysitter.
My DH and I are a true partnership. He might be a bit more scatterbrained than me (I keep track of everyone's schedule) but he's there 100%. His weekends and evenings are absolutely as devoted and filled as mine. And - when my job won't let me be there for stuff, he bends over backwards to make sure he is there instead.

Guess I got a good one 22 years married, I think I'll keep him.
