How much did your LOs sleep when they came home?

I know I am posting like crazy the past few days - bear with me! :-)

I am probably posting this b/c Evelyn had such a rough night - awake every 30 minutes when she would sleep 2-3 hours at a stretch in the hospital.

She has slept ALL day only waking to eat every 2 hours or so. She will wake up and stare at me a bit but is never alert before/after eating for more than a few minutes. I am not sure if this means she will be up all night now or if this is the life of a newborn. I cannot believe that I cannot remember this from when we brought Lily home. Crazy.

Thoughts?

In the early days, Alex slept a lot and Will slept very little. I mean, I guess it added up to a fair amount but he would just sleep in short stretches and did a lot of fussing in between. (He was later diagnosed with reflux, which might've had something to do with it.)

When we brought JR home he slept all day and was awake for quite a bit at night (had days and nights mixed up).  William and Jacob are awake very little during the day, but they almost STTN (only get up once, eat and go right back to sleep).

K&M have had diff sleeping habits since birth so I had to start a routine fairly quickly to make sure as they got older I could handle it. lol  They both slept fairly well since the beginning but K never really slept during the day and still sleeps much less then M

If I let him, Im pretty sure Joshua would just sleep and sleep.  But I am waking him every 2 hours for feedings and he is so groggy.  Emma stirs every 3 hours though and is REALLY ready to feed each time.  Both babies are pretty good about going down after they feed though.
