    Hopefully this is not going to be too long.

     

    Yesterday, my FI announces that he received a call from his sister (i am not in "greatest" relationship with her, but this is a long story) and she announces that she is pregnant.

    Note our wedding is in October. So, my first thought, she is due in October.

    I ask FI when she is due, he tells me November. I know how much FI's parents wanted a grand child (first one)and now i am in a pouty state, as i wanted this to be my time, and now it is going to be all about the grand child...am i wrong?

    I'm sorry, but I think that you need to realize she's building a family, just as you are in getting married - she didn't get pregnant out of competition. Be happy for her!

    Agree with lilyfaith.  You can't expect people to plan their pregnancies around your wedding.  You have one day, and a pregnant sister is not going to impose on that.

    i guess i am just a little over whelmed with all the wedding stuff, and his parents were just warming up with all the help (which i was appreciating a whole lot), now i know i am going to be on my own :((

    I am happy for her, just sometimes i wish it was either a bit earlier, or a few months later...

    I'm sure that they will still help.  They can help with both the wedding planning and the baby planning.  Plus, you also have your own family to help with your wedding planning too.

    Well, she's due in November so i doubt the whole night will revolve around her and the baby. Plus, she'll probably be chilling in a chair all night, uncomfortable, in sandals.

    My SIL was 7 months along at our wedding...i never felt like people were paying attention to her versus me or ANYTHING like that! You can't be accepting congrats from every guest during every second of your wedding; people will sneak in their congrats to her throughout the night

    @MissAsB i probably should have mentioned, my family is not here with me. I am originally from Russia and all my family is still back there. They can help me emotionally and a little bit financially, but with like little stuff here and there - i sometimes need a "second opinion" :) and FI parents were helping.
