Twitter Goes Gaga Over the Royal Baby

In case your mother hasn't woken you up with Royal Baby updates, Kate, Duchess of Cambridge went into labor early Monday morning.

Unless you're Pippa Middleton, or the number-one fan, this basically means your social media feeds will be blasted with crowning jokes and over/unders on whether or not the future Monarch will be a dragon.

If you're not thrilled about the news, you should just mute your Twitter feed now (or use The Guardian's royal baby news blocker). Don't fret, because the conversation happening online looks something like this.

I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the royal baby. (I am not on the edge of my seat waiting for the royal baby)— Rach Face (@NotRachFace) July 22, 2013

I just pray the royal baby is a Belieber— Princess Anús (@Slashleen) July 22, 2013

I hope it's a dragon!— David Waldman (@KagroX) July 22, 2013

No word yet on which house the Sorting Hat has placed the Royal Baby.— Official Comedy (@OfficialComedy) July 22, 2013

I just shook a homeless man awake to tell him the #RoyalBaby news. He seemed pretty alarmed/excited.— Josh Hara (@yoyoha) July 22, 2013

More like Royal Pain In The Butt, amirite other people that are confused about where babies come from?— Shawn Garrett (@ShawnGarrett) July 22, 2013

How many points is it for eating a royal baby?— Todd Marrone (@toddmarrone) July 22, 2013

Royal babies are tricky to deliver because of the whole silver spoon thing. #royalbaby— Peter Serafinowicz (@serafinowicz) July 22, 2013

Fun Fact: the only music allowed in Kate Middleton's delivery room is a continuous loop of the "Downton Abbey" theme #RoyalBaby— Dave Itzkoff (@ditzkoff) July 22, 2013

What if instead of a birthing coach, Kate just had a giant projection of the #royalbaby hashtag feed fueling her on.— mememolly (@mememolly) July 22, 2013

i can relate to the pain kate middleton is going through after having to read through all your royal baby tweets— lauren ashley bishop (@sbellelauren) July 22, 2013

We already have a #royalbaby. Her name is Blue Ivy.— ART (@heyart) July 22, 2013

I hope Kate Middleton names that baby Frank. Boy or girl.— Lamont Price (@LPizzle) July 22, 2013

If William & Kate don't bring the baby out on the balcony of Buckingham Palace & go all Lion King with it, then what's the point? #RoyalBaby— Tara Winegeart (@tarawinegeart) July 22, 2013

My marriage is in shambles & I have six-figure medical debt, but this royal baby is giving me a newfound sense of hope & wonder.— rob delaney (@robdelaney) July 22, 2013

#RoyalBaby Spoiler Alert: No matter what happens, the movie will be terrible.— JackedAndTan™ (@ThatDudeF) July 22, 2013

THE ROYAL BABY IS CROWNING LOL— Quinn Sutherland (@ReelQuinn) July 22, 2013

As long as the royal baby isn't another ginger, that's the main thing.— Patrick Brennan (@Pat_Bren) July 22, 2013

Hey everyone, it's just a baby. At least a dozen other ones are gonna be born today.— Gavin Purcell (@gavinpurcell) July 22, 2013
