i just want you to know that this could happen in ANY family...when my little sister was born it was really hard to "get used" to a new family member. That is very, very normal. Do you have another adult, maybe a grandparent or a teacher, that you can speak to and ask to help you with this? I am sure your parents really want to help your brother AND they still love you...both at the same time. It is never easy to have a change in our lives and now your parents don't have as much time for you...but that does not mean that you are not important or loved. Sometimes change can be great! I mean, now you have a new brother to love. Maybe try to get to know him better. Spend some time with him. When push comes to shove a brother or sister can be the best friend you will ever have. So while you might not see that right this minute, I promise you that with a bit of time you will learn to really love your new family member.
In the meantime can you ask your mom to spend maybe an hour with you and ask her for some "mother daughter" time. Read a book together or take a walk. Just tell her that you miss her and know how busy she is but can you have just a bit of one-on-one time. And then ask your Dad for the same thing. I bet they would love to spend some time with you.
