[quote=Anonymous]I've skimmed a lot of this, but here's my 2 cents.

1. It is not completely out of the ordinary for sisters to jealous of one another.  In fact, I think it is quite common on some level.  I have two sisters. Two of us is pregnant, one is trying.  I know that the one still trying feels left out and a little jealous, but she handles it well and we try to be sensitive to her feelings by not talking pregnancy all the time.
2.  I understand minimizing your contact with your sister, OP.  As someone else pointed out, you can only control your behavior and it sounds like no good would come out of frequent contact.  That said, I think not speaking is childish, ramps up the drama and sets a bad example.  I can't imagine giving anyone the silent treatment.
3.  I think you need to just let a lot of this go.  She has issues, but you seem more focused on it than is healthy. 
4. As others have said...and it seems the ship has sailed as the holidays passed...you should tell your sister you are pregnant.  Once you're showing no, you don't "owe" it to anyone to tell them, but it makes it awkward for you and everyone else toh ave them checking you out and guessing.  if she is struggling with infertility, I think it is just mean to make her guess and gives her ammunition.

Best of luck to you.[/quote]
