If your I-485 is based on a marriage to a US citizen, you are technically ok even if you continue to work without authorization since unauthorized employment is "forgiven" to immediate relatives of US citizens. It is also possible that you will be called in for your adjustment interview in the next month and get approved for your green card since the processing times for that have lately been about the same as the time it takes to get the EAD.
