The Great Royal Baby Watch Is On as Kate Goes Into Labor
The Duchess of Cambridge went into labor (or labour) this morning officially putting the world on notice as we wait for the arrival of the next heir to the British throne. Hundreds of reporters camped outside St. Mary's Hospital in London, finally got they were waiting for early on Monday as the Kate formerly known as Middleton checked in to her maternity suite, setting up the tantalizing possibility that the child will be born today, possibly at any moment.

Naturally, all the British is now on high alert as even more reporters and royals fans have descended on the hospital. Unfortunately, all they can do at the moment is sit and wait with the rest of the world.

We'll continue to update this post with news as it warrants, but you can also check out the coverage from overseas at The Guardian, the Daily Mail; the BBC, and The Sun. You can also try following @ClarenceHouse, the official Twitter feed of the royal couple, which could be the first to break (or at least confirm) the news online.
Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge has been admitted to St. Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London in the early stages of labour.

For the truly obsessive, you can watch the livestream of the hospital's front door (via the Daily Mail,) where presumably an official will emerge later today with the big news.
