Do new borns always sleep this much?

Estelle Madeline Bettineski was born March 31st 2009. She weighed 6 lbs 8oz and was 18 inches long. She looks like a mini Olivia. She is so little, I have forgotten what it was like to have something so fragile in the house. Estelle is very easy. She sleeps most of the day away! I remember thinking that Lo slept a lot when we brought her home too, but this kid will sleep through eating and pooping! She will sleep through taking a bath, changing her diapers and when I change her clothes! She doesn't mind noise, which is good because I can't do much to control the noise in this house! Olivia had some mixed feelings about her when she met her. At the hospital Olivia took my dads hand and said "Hey grandpa you have to come see my new baby sister!" and it was soooo cute! My dad loved it! Olivia loves to give her kisses, and to help me out with changing diapers. Olivia still gets into Estelle's clothes, I can' keep anything organized for very long with Lo around! It has been a change, but an easy one. Everyone here has been such a help. Julie wouldn't hold the baby for the first few days, she thought Estelle was too little! Now she is a pro! I do get use to the help too much. I had to put both kids in the car and take Julie to some classes yesterday and I was happy that I did it my self! I know that sounds silly, but when you have people around to grab a kid or even if they just grab your purse it helps. We will be moving back to our house in Battleground soon, and I will have to be super mom, so I need to start getting comfortable with it now! Well here are some pictures, and I will try to keep posting new ones as often as I can!
