Although new wifey and mom-to-be Kendra Wilkinson is settling into her new life in Indianapolis, her heart is back in Hollywood. But not necessarily at the Playboy Mansion.

The one-time Girl Next Door tells E! News that she’s planning on moving back to California sometime in February and buying her own house in L.A.

“It’s such a tease, because I want to be settled,” says Kendra, who moved to Indianapolis with footballer hubby Hank Baskett after he was dropped by the Eagles and picked up by the Colts.

“But I have to stay strong for Hank,” she tells E! News. “It’s his job. It was really hard on him when the Eagles released him. I’m here to be his backbone, and though it’s hard on me, I didn’t want to make it hard on him.”

One thing making the transition easier?

Her hubby’s new teammates have welcomed her into their group. The sports fan is even attending a ladies’ lunch at Peyton Manning’s house on Wednesday.

“They’ve all been very sweet so far,” says Kendra. “My first game was two weeks ago, and they were all really, really nice.”

And the lack of paps in Indy doesn’t hurt either. In fact, the blond babe says she’s prepping to fend off photogs when she returns to L.A. with her little boy, due in December.

“Consider me a mama grizzly bear,” says Kendra. “I’m definitely not going to put up with TMZ s–t at all. If I’m trying to get somewhere and I have my baby, trust me, I will attack.”
