[Magdalen] Prayer request for a safe delivery

[Jay Weigel]

TBTG for a safe delivery. Praying that Kit wakes up and latches on well.
The early birdies sometimes take a few days!

In neonatal we always said that inductions were a primary cause of
C-sections. It's pretty much true, especially in the case of early ones.
The corollary to that is what a long-time neonatal nurse always said, "Baby
no ready, baby no come." Unfortunately, pre-eclampsia sometimes
necessitates these things. It's a bearcat. Our Isaak had to be induced
because his mom'd blood pressure got iffy, but fortunately he was ready.
