My husband has invited his family at inopportune times, without consulting me first, but would never have done that for a newborn visit.

What's the problem exactly, besides that you weren't consulted? Is it your level of fatigue? Messy house? Fear of newborn contracting something? Needing to be a host and make small talk?

Tell him off for not consulting you. 
Then decide whether you prefer canceling or letting these people come and see you in all your unprepared glory - or as much as of it as your husband can't clean up all by himself. Personally, I would not lift a finger in the house, or lift a finger when they come. They would have to get their own drinks and step over the full diaper Genie on the way to the kitchen. I would breast feed right there in front of them, disheveled and absorbed in my baby. They would have to wash their hands and faces thoroughly before touching my baby.

You choose, OP. There is no wrong option, except the one where you run around doing things for guests.

OP here. Our son is just over 2 weeks old. I’m healing from birth, we are still working on getting comfortable with breastfeeding, and lack of sleep is an issue for us. I don’t really want guests at all while I’m still healing. I do feel like everyone will want to be in my face and the babies face the entire time and I’m bro ready for any of it. [/quote]
