[quote=Anonymous]OP here -- DSD is coming to visit tomorrow. It's the first time we've seen her since we a) got to the second trimester and b) got normal CVS results, so now that we're feeling out of the woods, we will share the pregnancy news tomorrow evening.  I'll let you know how it goes!

And in the vein of making sure DSD feels included from the very start, as many of you had suggested:  First of all, she's the very first family member we're telling. And since she loves playing town crier, we figure she might want to tell DH's parents and sister, so we'll totally put the phone on speaker and let her be the one to share the news if she wants to.

We also had our OB write down the baby's sex and put it in an envelope so that we can open it together as a family tomorrow (assuming DSD's reaction is reasonably positive to the overall news, that is).  It's killing me to wait (we've had that damn envelope since Tuesday and it's all I can do not to hold it up to the light to peer through!) but seemed like the right thing to do...

Again, many, many thanks for all your good advice.  DH and I have really valued it.
