When family celebrations become complicated by infertility grief

My sister got pregnant on her first try right after we started our second round of IVF and now every family gathering feels like we're all performing normalcy while my parents tiptoe around mentioning the pregnancy and she acts like nothing has changed. The baby shower is coming up and none of us know how to handle it.
