Congratulations on your upcoming arrival!
Depression during pregnancy isn't uncommon, even though it's a subject relatively few talk about. I'd strongly suggest reading up on it (there are probably even some great books on it at your local library - I noticed ours has quite a few) and talking to her doctor about your concerns so s/he can assess the situation and be on the lookout for things like postpartum depression.
Pampering her and encouraging healthy activities are certainly great things to do, but if you believe she's depressed, you probably need to address it with her and her health care professionals. You absolutely can't "shake her out of it," but you CAN support her in getting the help she needs if she is depressed.

The issue was raised with the doctor recently -- who didn't blow it off, per se, but said it's something to keep an eye on. The doc encouraged us to call in if it worsens, but I don't see being able to convince her of that if it does and she opts not to.
So...here's hoping.
