New sax player: is this normal?

I recently picked up the alto sax in my high school music class (because my grandma asked me to lol) so I'm really really new. Today I practiced for a good few hours nonstop, and now my lips are numb, so much so that I can't seal and tighten them around my mouthpiece anymore. Is this normal for beginners or am I doing something wrong?
