Is it the weather?

It's day three of cloudy, rainy weather here. I'm starting to wonder if my heightened sensitivity and general miserable disposition has something to do with the weather, rather than being pregnant.
In the previous weeks we've been really fortunate to have sunny days and cool breezes. On those days I feel like I can conquer my ever-growing task list, and my ever-growing belly won't weigh me down. Today, after three dreary days, I'm feeling overwhelmed and sad. I felt this way during the winter, but not during my pregnancy. My usual dose of medicine would be a nice run in the rain to wash away the frustration. Lately I haven't been able to muscle up the desire to do that. I thought maybe if I start small, with 1 mile dog walks, I'd eventually want to push harder and run. I'm still hoping the desire to run will come back, but it's been a few weeks and I'm still just walking.
The sun is forecasted to return tomorrow, so I'm hoping my generally cheery disposition will also return.
