[quote=Anonymous]I suppose I'm the only one in the bunch that sees both sides. I can understand why the OP would want to hear congrats from the SIL. (Although, I think there's more to the story, perhaps these two stay in competition with one another and play the one up game)  Infertility aside the SIL should  at least say "congratulations."  
But I also can understand how the SIL may need some time, (although 3 months have already passed) it may be hard for the SIL but it's the right thing to do.  The SIL needs to muster up the strength to say Congrats and the OP needs to be ultra sensitive to the SIL and bro and try very hard not to speak too much about the pregnancy around then. 
Lastly, the OP should find something else to focus on like what size fruit her baby looks like this month or what color she should paint the nursery.
As a person who doesn't care much for my own SIL, I understand that she can do no right in my eyes. Like Ever. This is probably the case here...so OP, although the SIL should at least say congrats, I wouldn't wait for it. Be the bigger person, exercise a bit of empathy and let this one slide. In the end she will feel foolish that she didn't say anything even in spite of her own grief. [/quote]
