Sue, our amazing midwife, came to allay my fears that my bag was leaking -- it's not. That is very good news at this point.
We were sort of confused as to where we were in this process -- the contractions are painful and regular, but just not... I don't know how else to say it... painful enough. Sue was able to clarify that we're still really early. She recommended sleep (yes, that would be the hope) and made some suggestions that will make that possible. We're going to try to sleep and then kick things back into gear this afternoon/evening. That is pretty welcome news because we're wayyyyy to tired to take on the hard part right now, and fatigue can complicate matters.
The official stats are that I'm fully, or nearly fully effaced, cervix is soft and favorable, dilation is only 2 cm, but that's progress from where we were! We're just happy things are moving forward....
Off to try some new things to get some sleep.

Good luck on the sleep! I'll try not to obsess for the next few hours...
