I think she's going to be fine as well but what's so important to me is knowing where in the process we are. I wish I knew what was happening tonight.

Unfortunately it isn't an exact science.  I feel you're pain. so long as she isn't in distress It's all good.  Premature kittens do not have a high survival rate so a longer pregnancy is good.  Frustrating but good.

I read that today and it is very comforting to hear that this is better for the kittens. At what point should I go to the vet if she hasn't given birth?

Also, I know this may be a stupid question but what exactly will a dialated vagina look like and how long does it take to dialatee to the point where she can start pushing?

I don't know how long it takes to dilate, but the vulva will be opened very wide - wide enough for a baby kitten to come out. You can't miss it.

Most cat pregnancy does not/should not go past 70 days. And don't hold my count as exact since it could be off!

I assume a dilated vagina will look bigger. LOL  I honestly do not  know. A poster put up a picture of her cat and asked if it looked dilated but no one could really tell from the picture. Again it will vary just like w/women giving birth.  Have you tried goggling it?

I just looked it up... regret that decision so much. Didn't really get any answers, either.

Yes but now we know what vaginal prolapse in a dog looks like 
   She's on the floor licking herself. She got down in the middle of me singing Nye Sprashivay. She's looking at me like she's trying to tell me something though at the foot of the bed.

She lead me to the door and she's in the living room sitting in my mum's chair at the table where she left the seat wet the other night.

Not really, which is why I'm really not wanting her to go there and get any ideas. I just came from the living room where she is and she's acting EXTREMELY restless and her pupils are dilated. She won't hardly let me touch her which is a total 180 from how she was 5 minutes ago...

She's now calmed down a little and cleaning her chest. Breathing as I described earlier. Pupils still dilated and she's very twitchy. She'll let me pether ehad but she doesn't close her eyes or throw her head back like she usually does. She's definitely alarmed... as am I. 

Btw, I just thought I'd mention how much I appreciate all of the guidance. Thank you all for helping me! I would be lost and probably barking mad without the help and support.
