It's not my job to tell someone whether or not they should get a dog, that is something that has to be discussed inside the home so I won't give you that kind of advice.
Puppies though will be puppies, they will have accidents on the floor, they will chew, they will bite even in play and can hurt a small child if bitten too hard, they will whine, they will cry, and they will bark.
They are in a sense a toddler, much like you already have a home. A human child can literally love a puppy to death, often times squeezed to hard or suffocated with cuddling. This is worse when it is a very small dog involved.
You made the best choice in coming here for advice and information, but your homework is not done and even once the pet is home will never be done. Talk not only to the knowledgeable people here but also to a vet and most importantly to your spouse. Make it something that you can both learn about together and then decide if a puppy is the right choice for your family.
Good Luck!
