I worked waiting table while I was pregnant with twins until the doctor told me I had to stop (pre-eclampsia). They both turned out perfect. Your body will tell you when too much is too much. Do you have short term disability insurance? That would co...
Ug. I hate the waiting. I had an interview 2 weeks ago. I got an e-mail last week that said they are still doing interviews and I should hear more by the end of this week. I am hoping that means I'm still in the running and they sent out some e-mail...
