To be sent to family/friends next Thurs (37w mark)

Dear Friends and Family,

I finally made it to 37 weeks, so the baby could arrive any day now. I will be sure to let all of you know when our little boy arrives and send pictures as soon as possible. Because I am anticipating a short hospital stay to get home to DD, we are asking that hospital visitors be limited to grandparents only. I want to take advantage of the hospital stay to get some good rest before returning home to care for both children. We know you want to see the baby and we would love to have you over for a short visit once I am home. We will let you know once we are settled at home and ready for visitors. Thank you for your understanding.

Love,

Does this sound rude? We had visitors from 12-8 the day DD was born at 1:30 that morning. It was incredibly exhausting. Luckily we just had her to take care of, but this time that won't be the case. So I'm trying to ward off a string of visitors this time.
