That does make it tougher. Could you establish your own visiting hour(s)? If someone wants to visit they can only come during your designated time, which you can put in between all the stuff you have/want to do with the babies and if they can't make it during that time, then too bad. You could spell it all out on your blog. Is there a way to keep that info at the top of the page so it's hard to miss no matter when someone visits? Maybe even change your voice mail message to direct people to the blog for updates.

We had several people show up unannounced at the NICU. I think some people thought they'd be able to just peak through a window at the babies like at the regular nursery. My minister came once when I was just sitting down to pump and I had the receptionist tell him it wasn't a good time. I love the guy and did not mind seeing him at all, but I kept myself on a strict schedule of pumping and being with the babies for their feedings, so I couldn't just drop everything.

I don't think it's weird at all to feel stressed about this. You have so much on your mind right now and the last thing you should have to worry about is accommodating other people. I think the only thing you can do is figure out what's going to work best for your new family and stick to your guns when people think your rules shouldn't apply to them.
