Firstly is your wife pumping milk,why not let the baby breast-feed directly?Its painful for awhile but will make your life a lot easier in the long run as its vastly simpler than bottles.

Secondly why are both getting up?Its only one baby! It does not need two adults to get up at the same time at night. Wife can feed the baby directly every 3 hours,you sleep through most of the night.Your wife can also sleep during the day as she as still at home and get help.

Babies sleep a lot and you cant set a schedule for a 2 month old so work around her needs.When you get home your wife gets out for a walk for a bit and then you can watch a movie together and relax when she is napping,do some non-baby related things each day and realise as new parents you are definitely worrying too much (we were the same on our first one).

Is she colicy? This could cause postpartum depression in your wife(and maybe even you) quite easily.
