Little prayer request

One of my former students, who is also a distant cousin, just lost her baby. Jessa is in her upper 30's and this was their first child. They had some issues come up the last week or so and today the little girl was born and passed away weighing 17 ounces.
My baby is to have her baby (our first grandchild) on Wednesday. The doctor wants to induce Maggie as the baby is not growing as fast as she should. It will be only a week early and the doctor assures us there is no problem but naturally this old man is somewhat concerned.
If you're of a mind to, prayers for the comfort of Jessa and her husband in their loss, and prayers for the safe and healthy delivery of Zoe, (and the health of her mama) would be greatly appreciated.
If you've got a little extra prayer, I could use it, I usually don't worry about things too much but I believe I'm a worse case right now than my wife and my son in law and my daughter all put together. I'm just hiding it. ;)
They will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
Absolutely and always, David.
Thanks to all for the prayers. They started inducing Maggie last night and the baby was born about 8 this morning. The labor wasn't especially long and from what I hear harder on my son in law than my daughter. ;) He can't stand to see her hurting. Anyway, Zoe Rose Krudwig came into the world weighing in at 5 lbs 9 oz and measuring 18 3/4 inches long and seeming to be good and healthy. She's just about as close to perfect as can be.
OUTSTANDING!!! Congrats grandpa!
Love it. Our first was born on her original due date and weighed 5 13. Small but mighty can be good.
