My younger married sister just annouced last night that she is expecting their first child 3 mths before my wedding. Did I mention she is my moh. And I think I am more annoyed than anything... My FH and I waited until after her wedding to get engaged so that we didn't 'steal anyones Thunder' and now she is pregnant... My mother just said to me that she dosnt know how she could possibly give her a baby shower knowing that I will be having a bridal shower right afterwards....I know that it isnt fair to her not to have a baby shower but now with in the past 2 years they have gone to a engagement party for her, bridal shower for her a wedding and now they are going to have to go to a baby shower for her and a bridal shower for me by the time my wedding comes around everyone is sick and tired of us. Oh and the chirstening is probally going to be a month or two after my wedding...
Am I really be a drama queen ???

Jo Ann,
Was it something she was planning on happening before the wedding? I know that is a touchy subject and none of our business but perhaps she didn't MEAN to 'steal your thunder'.
I am surprised your mother feels that it would be inappropriate to have a baby shower before your bridal shower. I don't think that is very fair. But that needs to be worked out with you and your mom and sister.
As for the pregnancy thing, be happy. A child is a blessing no matter the timing of the birth!
Sounds like you were a bit upset before but calmed down, which is good.
Best of luck to the both of you!

Re: How evil am I?
your not evil. Be sooooooo Happy for your sister and soooooooo happy that you are getting married. YOur Parents realize they have 2 kids and a lot of planning will happen from now until then. Help out a little with your sisters plans and make sure your parents and sister help out with YOUR wedding plans. Not one should be favored but both praised. If you feel your sister is getting all the attention, then go for it, get pregnant ...all eyes will totally be on you!!! Just a little humor. Seriuosly, if all help and planning is going to her and you honestly feel that your wedding is left out of the excitement, TELL THEM in kind words how you feel and what things they should do for you to help relieve this stress you have. Tell them this is not a joking matter and it has been bothering you. She had her wedding. YOur wedding is just as exciting as her baby. Feed off each others excitement. Go to lunch with her. Ask her to bring ideas she thinks you might like for her wedding and you bring ideas about baby room colors or names. Just show each other that you are there for one another. So easily and saintly said but try a new approach...like Dr. Phil says. I hope the best for you.

I seriously doubt you'll get outshined. Have your mom plan your sister's shower a little before it should be, or after, so you can seperate the two accordingly.
Be happy you're becoming an Aunt, and a married women all around the same time. My niece and nephew mean the world to me, it's good practice for later. Though I never changed a diaper...and never plan to until it's mine. (my child, not my diaper)
