No, it sounds like you have thought this out very carefully. Babies are a lot of work anyway especially when you have other children and I imagine with your sister and your niece involved that would double the work and frustration. You are responsible for making sure that your immediate family unit is healthy and able to thrive and if you think that it won't be possible with this new baby, then you are making the right decision. I would, however, make sure that my husband and I are on the same page so that there is no tension caused when the baby is born and put into another foster home.
It sounds like that might be a good thing for your niece and sister. If the baby is placed in an unrelated foster home then she will get the attention, services, and care that she needs but your family members will have to limit their involvement and realize that if they want to remain a part of that child's life, they will have to follow the case plan and make responsible decisions in the future.
Good luck!
