To want to announce we're having a baby our way?

[PanDahlia]

Myself and DH are expecting our first baby in Nov and have been getting together with immediate family to announce the pregnancy and give 'gifts from the baby' - a bit of silly fun but a tradition from my family.
The only person left to tell is one of my sisters along with her DH. I've invited her over and tried to meet up with her near her house a few times but she has been too busy (she doesn't have a job or children so I'm sure it's something important) I've told her I have exciting news to share to try and drop hints but she hasn't made any plans to get together. They also missed a family meet-up last week so I haven't seen her lately at all.
I did want to share the news in person but this probably means she will be the last to know and much later than everyone else which might make her feel put out. I'm aware this is a much bigger deal to me and the family probably don't care how I pass on the news so do I just stop being precious and tell her over the phone?

No wonder she seems to be "busy" so as to avoid you. How can you say that about your sister?

chimney OP explained up thread that she meant that factually not sarcastically.

I don't understand why people think the OP saying "she doesn't have a job or children so I'm sure it's something important" is nasty!

She's saying, it isn't due to a meeting or a child related activity so there must be something really important to her that is stopping her from attending.

I agree she is probably TTC, my sister miscarried and then split from her partner and so has never fallen pregnant since. I knew she was devastated with her loss and so was terrified to tell her about my news. In the end my Mum told her so she didn't have to pretend to be happy and could congratulate me in her own time x
