A sequence of numbers starts with $1$, $2$, and $3$. The fourth number of the sequence is the sum of the previous three numbers in the sequence: $1+2+3=6$. In the same way, every number after the fourth is the sum of the previous three numbers. What is the eighth number in the sequence? 
$\textbf{(A)}\  11  \qquad \textbf{(B)}\   20  \qquad \textbf{(C)}\   37  \qquad \textbf{(D)}\   68  \qquad \textbf{(E)}\    99$
List them out, adding the three previous numbers to get the next number,
\[1,2,3,6,11,20,37,\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 68}\]
