I was going to post exactly what bumbershoot posted. Sounds like she's just eating enough during the day to stave off hunger and is waiting to get most of her nutrition right from you (and cuddle time, too)! I'm sure she misses you and it's also a way for her to reconnect with you each night.
I have a 6 week old and she wakes up every 3 hours to nurse, but she sleeps right next to me and I nurse her while lying on my side. When she wakes up for the next feeding, I turn over with her and we nurse on the other side. Takes a bit to get used to it, but it's so peaceful and comfortable & it's how we all get the most sleep (takes me a little while to get used to it with each baby, though). But we also have a king size bed, so we have the extra room.
If I had to physically get up to feed her every three hours, I'd be exhausted, too.
Hopefully she'll start sleeping more for you really soon.
I do the exact same thing with my little one who is almost a month old. I've finally felt a bit more rested....
