Newborn Eating Smaller Amounts and More Frequently

My LO is 11 days old and was eating about 2 to 2 1/2 oz every 2 - 3 hours and then sleeping when she wasn't eating. Since two nights ago, she switched her schedule to eating 1 oz, sleeping for an hour and then waking up to eat another oz. I much more preferred the 2 oz and 2 hour routine, but is this normal? I have tried making her eat more, but she just spits it out and falls asleep. Please tell me this won't last too much longer as I am quickly becoming an unpleasant person. The neighbor kid was looking over the fence at my dogs which made them bark, so I let them back in. When I opened the door, he yells out "Good Morning!" and I just slammed the door...there is no such thing as a good morning when you have a newborn - stop looking at my dogs...
