Even though Mommy, (daughter's name), and baby are very tired, we are excited to see and have you spend time with our family. Please call before you come, though, so you can see us awake and at our best.
Would they question why my daughter is tired? I don't want to start making expalinations... but she will be excited and need extra rest, plus she will be nearby for the birth as we are doing this at home. I need to add a note like this as my family is very pushy and rude (with the nicest possible 'face' on) and does not respect me or my parenting. So I want them to come by 'appointment' so I can space them out and make this a happy time where I dont' have them all back to back. I want to re-cuperate after each visit and try to enjoy this moment with them if possible. Is that worded ok? I want to include that my daughter is tired too or else they will want to come and help and watch her.. the point is to get them to back off without sounding like it.

I tried answering your revised question, but here is what i was posting b4 u moved ur question..
I remember in your previous post you said that you were attaching pictures of the baby... im only suggesting.. u may want to mention that..heres a sample of what i would write
Hello, everyone
I know you may be real eager to meet the new addition to our family, so I have attached some pictures of our wonderful bundle of joy to enjoy. Unfortunately we are real busy at this time adjusting to our new situation at home. We ask that you please call us ahead of time if you plan on visiting so that we will be prepared on your arrival{{this isnt rude and polite asking them to call before they visit and if at the time you are not in the mood for visitors kindly tell them over the phone and suggest a date}} I thank you and appreciate your kindness in wanting to celebrate this wonderful time with us and we look forward in hearing from you real soon..
u dont have to give too much details like your tired and your daughters tired etc,,

OK first of all she delivered a baby herself at 14. Why would she have a baby at 14. Who was the father? Why didn't anyone notice her tummy growth. I feel that if world is coming to like 14 year Olds having babies and trying to flush them down a toilet whats the point anymore. Couldn't she have just told her mother. I know her mother would be mad but i know she would help her make the right decision like going to a hospital. Her mother would take this as a ♥ hate situation. Why didnt she take this seriously? So Sad :(

I think it sounds perfectly fine. If I were to get a email like that I wouldn't be offended in any way and I would definantly respect the mom's wishes.
One other thought, when the new baby comes home and you don't want anyone just "popping in" hang a note on the front door-- "Baby Sleeping, Please Come Back Later!" or something similar.

it's a good letter, but maybe say that you are very "busy" getting to know your new addition and making sure your family is comfortable. (of course YOU will be tired, but it MAY seem strange that everyone else is too! hee hee.)
even if you have a pushy family- remember that YOU are in control and you are the mom who calls the shots. just say "sorry!" to everyone and maybe tell them you will call THEM on such a day/time, instead of having them call YOU. good luck!

Honey even if you did sound like it, they better respect that. This is YOUR time and yours alone and they need to listen to your wishes. My mother sent her brothers and sisters away right after my twin and i were born as they were just like you describe your family. If that offends them, they have a problem, not you. These are YOUR kids. Have a happy and careless time :)

Sounds good. I think they'll definitely understand that your daughter is tired from all the excitement and adjusting.

You don't need to explain. This should be sufficient. However, if your family is that pushy and rude, they will likely ignore it anyway.
Maybe some of them will respect your wishes...I do hope!!
CONGRATS and good luck!!

I think that's perfectly reasonable, polite, and to the point. Nicely done. Hope they aren't too horrible for you!
