Me (30M) and wife (29F) have issues with home making and keeping things in order, need advice.

No not at all. I feel its throwing money away, because usually the economical reason for getting a housekeeper is that its cheaper to get one rather than to stay at home.

Wife's income at the moment is basically hers only, as she's on reduced hours due to pregnancy (which I got for her after writing a letter to her boss) and since she's earning less I'm contributing everything.

If she was earning my salary, I could save more money. More money for a bigger house, a more appropriate car for family, for childs future education etc. Then having a housekeeper would be a no brainer.

Nevertheless I've seen it suggested a lot so I am going to try discuss it with her and see what she thinks.
