New Year baby for heavily pregnant Jennifer Garner?

With her baby due any day a heavily pregnant Jennifer Garner must be wondering if she will see in the New Year with a new addition to her family.

The Juno star showed off her large baby bump as she escorted her daughter to play with a friend yesterday.

Despite looking a little tired behind her dark glasses Jennifer was a hands on mother - helping three-year-old Violet and her young friends into and out of the car.

She dressed for comfort in jogging bottoms, trainers and a jersey top.

Jennifer and husband Ben Affleck only confirmed that she was expecting in August, when the actress was already five-months into the pregnancy.

She told reporters at the time: 'We're so excited, obviously... It's all good, it's great.'

The 36-year-old brunette has previously said she is 'so excited' about the new addition to the family, although she has not revealed the name or sex of the baby.

Her former Alias co-star Victor Garber says his close friend is happier than ever.

'She’s wonderful,' he says. 'She’s probably the best mother I’ve ever witnessed.'

And while Jennifer focuses on motherhood her husband is busy starring in highly-anticipated romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You alongside Jennifer Aniston.
