6:40-7am: Get up, prepare bottles, give Ashlyn meds, get boppy pillows ready with burp cloths
7-7:45am: Feeding #1 (sometimes this goes a full hour- so the feedings below are written as a full hour)
7:45-8:30am: Lay on activity mat, play with toys, tummy time, change diapers
8:30-10am: Lay babies down for nap. Alton always gets up about a half hour before the next feeding time... so he usually ends up in the swing for a little while. Laundry usually gets started here too.
10-11am: Feeding #2
11-11:30: Activity mat, tummy time, diapers
11:30-1pm: nap, lunch, chores
1-2pm: Ashlyn meds. Feeding #3
2-2:30: play time and diapers. this is the time we go on walks if we do
2:30-3:30: nap... both babies are always up by 3:30. I try to read, do the budget, make important calls
4-5pm: feeding #4 (I usually have help during this feeding from my in-laws)
5-5:30pm: play on mat, sing songs, look at picture books, diapers
5:30-7pm: nap... well.. at least quiet time. Get dinner ready
6pm- Alton screams... time for swing
6:45-7:10pm: Jon gets home and we try to eat dinner- give Ashlyn meds.
7pm: feeding #5
7:45-815pm: bath time, change diapers and clothes
8:30pm: put babies down
8:30-10pm: wash bottles, get formula ready for the next few feedings, try to unwind and watch a show or something. Put things away.. any other chores.
10pm: feeding #6
10:30-10:45pm: put babies down for night... sometimes Ashlyn is closer to 11pm because she takes forever.
11pm- get ourselves ready for bed, set out everything for 2:30am feeding for Ashlyn, set alarm, go to sleep.
2:30am: get up and wake Ashlyn up to feed her and hopefully get back to bed by 3-3:15am

It will get easier :)I know I only have one baby, but they will start eating less, and after a while you won't have to feed Ashlyn at night.
Keep a record of this and show it to them when they are teenagers. They had better appreciate it!
