[quote=Anonymous][quote]Shortly after my DH and I announced our engagement, (about a month) my sister announced hers. I was excited for her, and glad that I had someone to share the prewedding planning with. Fast forward to the actual wedding planning and her wedding was just a few weeks after mine was. There was a slew of drama that came up because I wanted similar colors as she did(really stupid), and I was trying to "get my wedding done quicker to out shadow hers". Got past that, and shortly after I found out I was pregnant. Just had our kid 10 days ago, and now sister announced she's pregnant. 
Is it normal for it to just happen this way? It feels like she's following in my footsteps as quickly as she can. She's older than me, and said she still didn't plan on getting pregnant for a few years as to finish school. But BIL said they started trying about two weeks ago. I just don't understand it, it has been making it feel less special to not only me, but our family to be going through so many congratulations so quickly.[/quote]

So it sounds like OP knew that her sister was going to be announcing her wedding and OP rushed forced her boyfriend to propose quickly so that she could preemptively announce her wedding before the sister could announce her and upstage the sister.  Then OP quickly planned the wedding to make sure that her came before the sister and again made sure she was the center of family attention, and finally she got pregnant immediately after her wedding to ensure that her child would be first born and center of the universe grandchild.

What?  OP didn't do all that?  Things just happened in a natural order?  Her boyfriend proposed when he wanted to, they planned the wedding for the best available date that worked for family and that they could get the places they wanted?  And they happened to get pregnant naturally?

Is it possible, OP, that you sister did the same?  If you didn't spitefully plan everything to try and upstage your sister, then why do you think she did this to you?  I think this says more about you  than it says about her.[/quote]
