CELEBRITY NEWS --The countdown begins! Heavily pregnant Jenna Bush glows in bright yellow jacket just days away from her due date

A heavily pregnant Jenna Bush Hager took a relaxing stroll around New York City this morning, covering her growing baby bump in a bright yellow jacket.
At eight and a half months pregnant, the glowing 31-year-old is expecting her first child with husband Henry Hager any day now - and it seems the Today correspondent has a penchant for the yellow puffer.
In December last year, the same day MailOnline exclusively revealed her pregnancy, Mrs Bush Hager debuted her baby bump in the same bright jacket, with similar black leggings.

Mrs Bush Hager was all smiles when she announced her pregnancy with Mr Hager, 34, in December.
Beaming, she confessed at the time: 'We've been able to keep it a secret and just us (it's so sacred) for a pretty long time, longer than most, But obviously, I'm going to start getting bigger and bigger.'

But today, the mother-to-be seemed serious as she shopped with a friend around Manhattan's Soho - possibly picking up last minute baby supplies.
It was more than two weeks ago that she announced to Matt Lauer on the Today show she is, in fact, already eighth months pregnant. A due date could be just days away.
Wearing sneakers and carrying a canvas bag from her cousin Lauren Bush Lauren's line, Feed Projects - which donates school meals to the world’s hungry children with each sale - Mrs Bush Hager eagerly chatted with her companion.
And as she prepares for motherhood, it seems the daughter of former president George W. Bush isn't short of parenting wisdom, either.

Appearing on the Today show earlier this week, Mrs Bush Hager's mom, Laura, told her daughter to 'really take advantage of every moment.'
She said: 'Try to remember those special moments that you have with your children. because before you know it, they're 31 and having children of their own!'
In 2011, the former first daughter admitted her parents were desperate for grandchildren, and told People: 'I don't have any children. I just have a cat, to my parents' dismay.

'My dad saw my husband's boss at a conference, and he said to stop paying my husband until we produce children.'
Mr Hager, who works for investment firm KKR and whose father, John, is a prominent Virginia Republican, met his wife while campaigning for President Bush in 2004.
They were married in June 2008 - making Jenna the first daughter of a sitting President to marry in 16 years - and will celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary this spring.
