Change in eating/sleeping patterns after growth spurt?

DD just finished (I think?) going through a 5 1/2 day growth spurt - she ate all the time, was pretty fussy, barely napped, and at the pedi today we found out that she gained a little over a pound in just 9 days. Today she's still eating often, but in shorter increments than before, and sleeping way more (kinda of how she used to before this growth spurt). I don't know if it has to do with the growth spurt, the heat wave we're dealing with (we have AC, but I think everyone can still feel its effects even without being exposed to the heat itself), or the fact that I've recently started to come out of the baby blues and relaxed a little (so maybe my milk is flowing better for her and she feels less stressed because I am?). She still eats the same amount - about 4oz, but her pattern today is just so different from the past 5 days.

I was wondering if others have experienced new eating and sleeping patterns after LO's 2-3 week growth spurt? Is this normal?

TIA :)
