In l&d for induction due to loss (OutOfStep81) **** UPDATED****

I'm not sure where to start with this... I went in Monday (2/10) for a reg appt and found out my baby girl has passed away.
The doctor couldn't find her heartbeat on the doppler so she did an ultra sound. She couldn't find it there either and brought in another doctor to look... He confirmed her heart was no longer beating.
DH and I are in shock. I was just in last Wednesday due to having a stomach bug and received 2 bags of fluid. Her heartbeat was perfect then.
We are devastated. Right now I'm waiting on the doctor to come in and start pitocin.
Any thoughts, prayers or positive vibes you could send my way would be greatly appreciated right now.
I will post later with a labor/birth story.
----UPDATE---
Thank you all so much for your thoughts, prayers and kind words. I can't tell you ladies how overwhelmed I am by all of you.
Adeline Leigh Carver was born sleeping this evening, February 11th at 8:07p. 8 lbs 2 oz, 20 & 1/2 inches.
She has her daddy's eyes, nose and lips... And of course his big feet. She is beautiful and perfect. Ten tiny fingers and ten little toes (attached to some monstrous perfect feet).
DH and I are hanging in there. We're not sure how, but we are.
As far as what happened, we don't know yet. I noticed decreased movement on Saturday evening and Sunday, but each time id start to worry I'd poke and prod and get (what I thought was) a little kick here or there. She had been quieting down over the past few weeks as she got closer to her due date. I honestly thought she was just sleeping a lot in prep for labor.
When I was in for fluids last Wednesday the nurse had to "buzz" her to wake her up so they could make sure she was reacting to the contractions I was having at the time. She was perfect then as was kicking DH when we napped on Saturday. We are doing an autopsy and testing to see if it was a cord issue or possibly genetic.
Anyways, thank you for listening. Blessings to all of you and your little ones.
