Mr Pedersen, we are at BABYCON 3

A good friend is about to become a father for the first time. This will be happening (if on schedule) in a couple of weeks. He had some fun creating the baby equivalent of Defcon levels for the imminent event.

BABYCON 5: This condition is used to designate normal non-pregnancy activity. Conditions may be adequate for conception. No storks.
BABYCON 4: This condition is used to designate an actual pregnancy or the possibility of a pregnancy. No storks.
BABYCON 3: This refers to an increase of alertness and readiness above pregnancy where a delivery is probable. Storks are resting but not fuelled.
BABYCON 2: This refers to a further increase in readiness just below maximum readiness. Legitimate contractions occur at this point. Storks are fuelled and ready.
BABYCON 1: Maximum readiness. Birth imminent. Storks are 'in the air'.
