Here is what I did. I booted up the first one. After that I started the second one with bootstrap turned off. Then I did a nodetool loadbalance on the second node. After which I added the third node again with bootstrap turned off. Then did the loadbalance again on the third node. This seems to have successfully completed and I am now able to read/write into my system. Thanks!
