hi jessica!sorry to hear about your troubles. you have described me completely except the losing weight part.
i gain and gain it seems. so over it! what type of work do you do?
Since moving from Jacksonville, Florida (population 1.2 million) to SSM, Michigan (population 15k) lol.... I have taken a job in our mall --- Walmart. I work in the deli there. I'm surprised they hired me, being that i was almost 6 months pregnant but luckily i wasn't really showing by that point due to the weight loss. I lift heavy meats and cheese all day, and run around getting things for impatient people, whom half the time i can't understand due to their dialect of english lol. It's not unbareable, but it isn't easy either. It's really hot back there, and standing and lifting all day does take its toll on my feet and back.
well, i deal with food too. but i'm a server. so it's similar really. i depend on the people to actually TIP though. i swear people don't know what you really are supposed to tip. it's the worst when you get a verbal tip about how wonderful you are and then they throw you a 5 down after you have ran yourself to death to please them and make their experience the best it possibly could be and they just don't get it. LOL fortunately i do pretty good and i have a lot of regulars from being there so long. i do get sympathy tips too. "poor girl waddling everywhere."
Oh yea, i can see how that would suck. People really don't get it... at all. It's especially hard to work your ass off when you depend on the people you "serve" to be your paycheck. I think that's the only thing i actually like about being hourly, they don't dictate my paycheck. If i stay for 8 hours i know that i'm getting paid however much per hour that i was hired for. I prefer working only because i don't have A/c in my house and at work they have A/c and a cooler/freezer i can waddle into if i get too terribly hot. Plus i still have things that i need for the daughter i'm soon to hatch and i feel like if i stopped now before i am as prepared as i can get for her, i would be failing her. That prospect makes me sad, so i've chosen to stick it out, no matter how hard it gets until my midwife tells me that i have to stop or she is here. Yea, i keep wishing for those lotto winnings, yet i never play the game lol. I know EXACTLY what you mean about the hot, sweaty, hormonal pregnant lady thing... some days i feel like a complete witch. And a massively sweaty one at that
I've never been one to be really hot all of the time even when i was in Florida, i could easily handle it. But pregnancy has just made me one non-stop sweat ball and it really works my nerves. I'm just getting sooo irritable from that among many, many other things. So, I think i can honestly say: I know how you feel. 
) That way ppl can move around if need be (like if youre preggo and you go from TTC to 1st Tri to 2nd Tri to 3rd to Mommy, etc).
that would probably be easier, but we are nearly done now so it probably wouldn't matter.
ugh! and all this gosh darn back pain. i swear i'm destined for back labor. which my mom went through. think it's genetic? am i cursed? lol. i hope not! but i did have some amazingly yummy chocolate cheesecake ice cream. agh yummy. Trystin has been kicking all day long. yay!! and i had to give my puppy away this morning so i was all sad for awhile. i actually cried. i miss his cute little face.
