Almost any dog can be trained to be able to come in the house and behave itself. The hardest part will be for you to establish dominance if you haven't done this yet. From what you've said, it doesn't sound like anyone has done any training with the animal so he has been the alpha dog for a long time. It is probably going to take quite a bit of time and effort to teach your dog enough to be able to behave appropriately.

As Jessi said above, I do believe that now is not the time to start training your dog to be inside. With the baby coming, it's going to be far too much work and you won't have enough time. I would recommend start training the dog to behave the way you want him to while he's still outside. Don't let him continue to jump on people or otherwise act out. That will make introducing him to the inside of your home much easier when you're ready to do so.
