Am I over-reacting

I have been with my husband for 12 years, we have 2 children together and have been married a few years now.

My SIL and I have never had any issues between us that I am aware of but I am the only one that hasn't been invited to both her baby showers (I never had one with my children) my MIL's friend was invited but I was completely left out of both.

Am I over-reacting? I feel really upset that i was the only one left on the outside, I wasn't even told I found out when all the pictures were uploaded online.
I see them all as my family but I feel like that feeling is one-sided.
I have cried over this and my husband is really supportive of me and told me that I have a right to feel upset about it but I'm just not convinced.

Am I in the wrong for feeling so down about this??

Is there a practical reason? Would you have had to travel but everyone else lives locally?

Were there any other in-laws there? Your MIL's friend may be like family to her, but lots of women aren't close to their brothers' wives.

You can have a good family relationship but it doesn't mean you're friends. Would you rather she felt she had to invite you out of duty?

We live 2 minutes apart and I drive, I have offered to babysit while she works to make things easier for her and her husband too. We get on well when we're together

I forgot to add, both her other SIL's were invited it was just me that wasn't
