One week down!

It has been a week today and the babies are still hanging in there. Erin had her weekly appointment today with the world renown stenographer Suzie at the Center for Advanced Fetal Care (located one floor down). The babies were scanned today and looked great. They look comfortable and not in a major rush to exit (Sorry Erin). Baby A weighed in at 4lbs 4ounces, Baby B 4lbs 3ounces, and Baby C 4lbs 1ounce.

The overall goal is to wait as long as Erin can take it. It is Erin's second day without any drugs to stop contractions and they are still spaced apart about every 5-7 minutes. The good news is that she is only feeling about 3-4 contractions per hour (For all the men out there that still sucks).

Erin is currently resting up.

Stay tuned.

Yipppeee! Everything is sounding great for the babies, it sucks for you though! You just made their little home in there way to comfy cozy. :)

I wish I could come down and see you but my little bug won't take the dang bottle which means I can never be too far away. I am thinking of you all day long and obsessivly checking the blog.

Hang in there, us Frostburg girls ain't nothing but tough!

Hi Erin and Tom,
Hang in there. You are doing so well. You are in my thoughts always. Hope to see you soon. Love, Karen

Rest is good!! Tom, you should be trying to rest too. I think Tara is right on two accounts... Erin has made the babies way comfy, and we Frostburg girls are tough! Keep up the great work Erin!!

I feel like your site is my new obsession, I check it every chance I get! I am so happy to hear that the babies are doing so well, I just wish for your sake that they were in a little bit more of a rush to join the world! We can't wait for the next update!

Erin,

Isn't Suzie the greatest??!! I love her to pieces. She was a huge source of encouragment to me during the pregnancy.

I know/remember how you felt all too well.

From week 30-36 I was the contraction queen. =) I stopped the Mag but kept contractng. I NEVER dialated, so they wouldn't deliver me.

I was so angry that the doctors wouldn't just deliver me. Let's be honest. I was miserable.

We waited. We waited. We waited. I promise you it was worth every day of being in that hospital.

You are doing a fantastic job. Your babies are HUGE! Don't go and beat me now, ok? I currently hold the record for the "fattest" newborn triplets around here. =)

Call me ANYTIME.

Cherie

Erin, Tom, Hannah, and Family.

We are praying for all of you and keeping you in our thoughts daily! We are looking forward to meeting the three newest additions to the Claggett family! Please let us know if there is anything at all that we may do for you to be of assistance now or when Erin comes home. We would like to begin meals for your family and could do so now if Julie would like! Also, we are more than willing to help out with looking after Hannah for a few hours so that Julie can get a break. Owen and Luke would love to have her come play! Tom and Julie---try to take care of yourselves (easier said than done, we know)! God Bless you all! Love, Rob, Kelli, Luke, and Owen Paugh

Three Cheers for Frostburg Girls!! I agree about this being an obsession! Every time I get a break I check to see how everything's going. Hang in there!!!

I'm glad to hear things are going better. Erin I hope you know how many of us are behind you always. You are doing great. Hang in there and get as much rest as you can. It seems that Hannah is dealing with this pretty good, I'm glad for that. She is such a great little girl (thanks to Mom & Dad).
