I almost sounds like air got into the lines, but I can see how.

With the engine off, press on the brake a couple of time. It should get hard as a rock. Then, start the car with your foot still on the brake. It should sink about 1 inch or so. Leave your foot at full pressure and see if it sinks at all, it shouldn't. If it does, it is time for a flush and check of master cylinder.

The new pads could also be breaking in, check the rotor for uneven shiney areas.
