Dating after divorce - expectations

Some quick background - divorce finalized in December 2012, separated in September 2012 after being married 11 years. I've dated around, had a rebound girlfriend way earlier this year. And recently met this woman and fell hard for her. And she for me. I'm 35. She's 40 with two 11 year old kids. She's been divorced for over five years after being married for about five or six.

We've been seeing each other for over three months. We're exclusive. Things seemed like they were going really well, and we were seeing each other a few times a week. Dinner, spending time together, etc.

Then about three weeks ago I feel as if she's pulling back somewhat. We talk about it - she felt like I was being needy. It's not like I was demanding all her time. I would ask if she would want to have dinner or spend time together and she would say sure.

For the past three weeks, we see each other about twice a week. Usually on Wednesday night and then again either on Saturday or Sunday. Our time together is good. But now it just feels like things have slipped into a lower gear. And that's just really frustrating for me. But I am ok with it - I think she's a great lady - and she might be busy and not just want to include me in too much this soon.

With only a little over three months into a relationship - and me still kinda newly divorced - am I expecting too much to want to see her more than two times a week? I am just looking for additional perspectives and from people with more experience with post-divorce dating.
