Erin and the triplets are getting ready for the night. They are totally off the Mag and on a new medicine. The new medicine does not stop the contractions like the Mag and there is a 50% chance she may deliver within the next 24 hours and a 50% chance she could last another week.
Erin and I are ready for whenever they decide too make their grand entry into "The Clagett Family".
JuJu, Mama Kate, Cousin Kevin, and Hannah visited this afternoon and evening. Hannah loves visiting, especially playing in the treehouse on the 5th floor, throwing pennies in the fountain in the atrium, and eating her dinner (which we pack for her) in the cafe area with daddy. In between all this, she visits with mommy! Today she discovered the gift shop where she purchased a balloon for mommy and then insisted on taking it home with her so she could bring it back tomorrow.
I want to give everyone a enormous thank you for all the support, love, and help. Keep the comments coming she loves them. Her mailing address is Univeristy of Maryland Medical Center, 7 South, 22 South Greene Street, Baltimore, MD 21201
Tom
P.S. I will make sure to post the pictures as soon as I can.
We'll be anxious to hear how the night goes! Either way, I'm sure that you are prepared and ready for anything at this point. Give each other a big hug from all of us,and we'll look forward to reading your next message. Now get some sleep; both of you! We love you!!

As I was putting Ryan to bed tonight, I couldn't help but think how much fun, crazy & wild it's going to be for you both, (after you get over the shock), to put 4 children to bed. :) I am so happy for you guys and know that there is a plan for everything and everyone, and you've been chosen for a GRAND one. Things happen for a reason, I always believe that! I have a favorite saying that hangs on my wall that says, "May you have just enough clouds to make a beautiful sunset." These few days seem to be your clouds and with all the thoughts and prayers behind you, you'll be able to have the most beautiful days and sunsets ahead. Thinking of you often---Jennifer, Mitch, and Ryan

We look forward to the next update. Hang in there, the strength both of you have is amazing. I hope you are able to get some rest before the triplets make it into the world whether it is in the next 24 hours or later than that. We can't wait for this to be behind you. Better times are almost here. We love you!

You are all doing so fantastically - please know that there are lots of good wishes coming your way from NY! I can't imagine how exhausting everything must be right now, but try to hold tight to these memories (the good and even the not so good) - someday soon you'll look down at your 3 beautiful newborns (being cuddled by their gorgeous big sister) and every bit of the craziness will have been worth it!!

I look forward each day to read how things are going. I know this is a difficult time, but I truly think that there is a reason for everything that happens in our lives. Erin and Tom, you have been lucky enough to be chosen to have three beautiful girls to keep Hannah company. You have done such a great job with your Hannah, you will be even greater with the next three. You are in my prayers. Hope everything is going OK today.
