How much is too much?

LO has been super sleepy since Thursday/Friday (the days blend together).  I thought maybe it was a growth spurt (she was a month Thursday), but it seems like its going on too long.  She falls asleep during her bottle and sometimes closes her eye about half an ounce in and I'll have to keep rousing her by burping her.  She'll also fall asleep immediately following her bottle and will be out cold for 2 or 3 or sometimes 4 hours.  I feel like she was more alert at 2 and 3 weeks.

Normally I wouldn't be concerned except yesterday and today I tried to wake her up for a bottle after a particularly long stretch and I got halfway through changing her before she woke up.  She also almost always finishes 100 ML per bottle, but tht's dropped off a bit too.  A couple of feeds she's only had 20 or 70.  She's also always fussed in her sleep, but this weekend she started crying in her sleep--for like 5 minutes but her eyes are closed and when I picked her up or tried to comfort her she didn't wake up.

 Again I wouldn't normally worry except all these "symptoms"(?) are occurring simultaneously.  Am I overreacting or should I call the pedi? I'm keeping track of her sleep/wake schedule today--maybe its not as bad as I think?
