Birth announcement and baby showers

So I don't really know how to feel and I'm not sure if I'm still being dramatic.
So I'm currently 12 weeks post partum and my family have been amazing
My last day in work one of my sisters and best friend had organised a surprise baby shower for me I had no clue and it was just beautiful.
I was so happy and emotional to have so many lovely people around me.
Although....
one of my other sisters had decided that my baby shower was the best time to announce that she was pregnant (3 weeks) I wouldn't have minded if it was just my family, but it was my work friends, friends from college etc plus my partners family most of the people there don't really know my sister. She didn't just announce it but made it very obvious like asking for an appletizer in a wine glass and sitting rubbing her belly the majority of the time. I didn't talk to her for a while after the baby shower but after I had baby Girl she met her etc but it still gets me very angry. Not just for me but my sister and bestfriend had worked so hard to do this big surprise and my sister turned it into a day for her.
Am I being dramatic

Nah, that was a dick move. Just like you don't propose at a wedding (without asking b and g I suppose), you don't take the sparkle from someone else's event.

Be angry for a bit and then let it go.

Agree why would anyone want to make your event about them. ? You should try to return the favour 😂

As harsh as it sounds I think she was jealous as she has a nearly 4 year old and she's pregnant and won't have a baby shower because she doesn't have any friends so I think that has a lot to do with it.
