Default Need advice on bathroom/eating schedule

Lexi is 5 months old. She has an Xpen and pee pads, with her food and water and bed and toys all in there. When she is roaming the house when I am home she has access to a doggie door (Still learning) and a pee pad by the door. (getting better)

I beleive I need to put her on some kind of eating schedule. Every night when I put her to bed (with food and water) she goes on her pads many times. She also poos sometimes twice. Therefore, I know she is getting up several times a night to do this. I prefer that she learn to hold it. But in the daytime she goes about once an hour. Shouldn't she be able to hold it longer by now?At what age should I expect her to potty three times a day like older dogs?

For those of you that are expierienced with this age puppy, what kind of eating schedule should she be on? Is feeding her twice a day enough? Will taking her food and water away at night improve the situation?
