I keep everything in my phone, and it’s shared with my iPad and MacBook. I’ll just have to cross my fingers my phone doesn’t crash. Although SGirl, SBaba, and I share a family calendar. That way we can see what everyone should be doing. 

I do that too - iPhone, iPad and iMac, AND a paper planner from the Dollar Store, because one cannot be too careful!!!

For work I use Outlook, for home we use a paper planner. Old habits die hard. So hard, we buy the same planner every single year, lol.

LOL, despite several tutorials, Mr. Kitty can't get the hang of the calendar on his phone (which I kindly share with him). So, we have a wall calendar for all of his appointments. Since he's still going to PT once a week, and the sessions are on different days at differing times, he needs it.

There was chatter that she was in attendance when the last Duggar grandbaby was born. A picture surfaced with a curly haired nurse in the background. But I don't recall if her face could be seen. 

Brought this over from Jill/Derick thread since it is about Abbie working as a nurse.  It was discussed in this thread or Joy's and I think Joy had said that her SIL worked at the hospital where she was delivering.

I can't tell if this is Abbie or not, but, at least at my hospital, it is entirely possible that an LVN would be working in the newborn nursery.  Only RNs in NICU, but LVNs can work in regular nursery and postpartum care.  This includes care for C/S deliveries with no complications.  

LPN's can work in all aspects of labor, delivery and postpartum.  It is quite possible that Abby is now working in the healthy newborn nursery or even on labor and delivery where getting the initial weight and measurements on a newborn is part of her job.

Austin's sister is a doula and attended at least one of Joy's births.  Labor and Delivery nursing is a really specialized type of practice and it's really unlikely Abbie went from non-practising LPN to L & D nurse in the blink of an eye.

Joy doesn’t know the difference between a doula and a nurse?

Probably not.

I think that even those of us who actually spend time thinking about them and the poor education they received would be surprised by how many really common, ordinary things they haven't seen and don't understand.

But didn’t Jana once train as a doula?

I think she did for a very short time. I still think it's possible (probable?) that Joy doesn't know the difference between a nurse and a doula. The family really doesn't value education and I can see her being unable to understand the difference between "taking a class" and "getting a certification" and "getting a degree." I also don't think she really understands or cares about different areas of expertise.

Yes, but only so she could be Jill's accountability buddy while she was training to be a "midwife". She clearly had no interest in it.

I felt bad for both girls. Jill clearly wanted to do it and couldn't do it unless she found someone else to be her accountability partner and Jana didn't want to do it but had to.

Right? I guess they didn't trust her proctor, Venessa, to oversee her and shield her from sin. There was nothing wrong with her while Jill trained under her; all her problems came long after Jill had graduated.

That and Venessa was incompetent. Too bad Jill couldn't be trained with a competent midwife.

Does Joy know the difference between your and you're?  Doula vs nurse is WAY too hard!  HA!

JD and Abbie posted a reel of their anniversary Caribbean cruise.  I was wondering why most of the married Dugs all seem to have fall anniversaries and then I recall it is probably has to do with show filming schedule. I think Jill said something about it in her book.

Abby looks the same to me, just a bit thinner (which is noticeable in the face). Also her hair is pulled back (which makes sense given the climate). 

That’s it. She lost weight. Her face shape is different too. 
 

They actually look happy which is nice. Beats the way Jessa and Ben look lol.
