Sixth night

Somehow we have made it through a whole week tomorrow (Thursday). Our day has been filled with more challenges. The Morning started well. We got lots of rest. The afternoon was filled with more hurdles. Erin started having intense back pain which lead to nausea. After we got the nausea under control, Erin developed a fever. We are still waiting to hear some test results to figure out what is causing the fever. They went ahead and put Erin on an IV antibiotics as a precautionary.

As for me, I am fine. It was just a little bug. I just took some Tylenol (Thanks Seth) and suck it up.

Overall, Erin is just in what I would refer it to as extended labor. Nothing like feeling contractions for a week now.

Thanks for the support and stop feeling sorry for me. I not the one who is pregnant.

Hi Clagetts -
Read some of your week's trials and tribulations. Will, of course, see you Thursday.
Keep up the good work.

Back pain, nausea, and fever huh? Erin, these symptoms are making me have flash backs from high school. No more Determan story's for you, only Clagett story's now. I hope that it is not what I think it might be... anyway, GOD BLESS YOU!! You are one tough mama. Like Tom said you have done this for a week already tomorrow. How much longer papa smurf... not long now... I mean it can't be much longer right? I wish that I could share your pain so that you could rest. Just hold on! You truly are amazing! Heath

Way to suck it up Tom! But don't be a hero! :) I can't imagine how tough this is on all of you. We think about you all the time and hope that you will have some relief soon! Dylan wants to come down in his Thomas Train and visit you guys!

you guys are amazing!!...definitely get mom and dad of the year and Tom you definitely get husband of the year. Hopefully this adventure will soon be over and your new one can begin with your 3 beautiful baby girls.

[Robin, Brian, Avery,and Natalie]

What's next, right? Hopefully, some healthy, beautiful girls. They have years of being good to make up for all of this!! You'll be able to guilt them into anything!!
Anyway, best of luck today; there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Take care of each other and let everyone else take care of you, too. That's what they're paid to do. We love you guys and are so proud of you!

NEWS FLASH TOM: No one feels sorry for you!! ;)

I hope in brief instances you are able to rest (all of you). It sucks to think that you will be totally exhausted when all of the FUN begins!!

Remember that all of this pain is temporary and you are strong and can do it!! We all (all of us out here in cyberworld) believe in you and your ability to handle adversity. Stay Strong and Keep Praying!!

Love ya!

Oh Erin! I can not believe the strength you have. I hope you are feeling a little better and the nausea has stayed under control. I am so glad that the end of this is finally in sight. Those wonderful little girls have the most amazing parents waiting for them :) Good luck today.

[Tara & Mark]

Amazing, amazing, amazing.... you guys are all awesome and have been able to tough it out through some horrible situations. This is just another bump in the road, one that you guys will triumph over, just as you have all the rest. We're all thinking of you and sending you wonderful thoughts and prayers. Hang in there, we're all all pulling for you and those three beautiful babies!

CONGRATULATIONS - What beautiful little girls you have. So glad everything went well. The names are so pretty. We had prayers said for you at church this morning and when the congregation heard "identical triplets", there were a lot of "ooohs and aaahs". Good luck and good health to all of you. God Bless.
