My advice to the OP, I am pretty sure I have posted it before here:
Regardless of what you say to each other at 2AM, or 3AM, or 4AM, or 5AM you still love each other.

Honestly... once my Wife stopped breastfeeding i took over all the late night feedings/wake ups (usually only 1 a night). It has saved me a tonne of grief as my wife is well-rested. That makes home a happier place.
I have it down to a science now. About 10 minutes.
1) Baby cries
2) grab bottle from a little fridge upstairs and plop it in the bottle-steamer (2.5 minutes to warm up)
3) Get baby and plop him on the change table and change him using wipes from a wipe-Warmer (nothing worse than cold wipes on warm bum).
4) Wrap burp-cloth around the bottle and pop it in babies mouth. Use overhang of burp-cloth to catch any spillage.
5) Try not to doze off as baby eats or check hockey pool stats on Iphone
6) Burp baby and lay him in his crib in the position he prefers to sleep in.
7) Back to sleep
