I was awoken this morning at about 2:30 because Darby's water had actually broken. And she was in labor. And it was going quickly. Contractions were hard and about 5 minutes apart. I got up, got dressed and woke Mom up to let her know what was happening. We then went to the hospital, where, yes in fact, her water was broken. Quick exam put her at 3cm dilation. Contractions here reasonably rough (I'm told), and she decided that the miracles of modern science were the right choice for her.
Anesthesiologist showed up a little later, and after a few attempts to get the needle placed while Darby was sitting up, he had her move to her side with her knee's curled up (ha!) and finally got the needle placed and in.
Contractions are moving well while she's medicated. As of right now (5:30 am) she's laying in bed playing "Words with Friends" on her iPhone with me and waiting for about another half an hour before the nurse will check her dilation again.
More updates to follow (maybe). :)
