WHAT: UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital will bring dill-light to its nursery and celebrate Picklesburgh by costuming newborns as their mother’s favorite pregnancy craving: pickles. UPMC Magee babies will be swaddled in green blankets and caps, knitted by a UPMC Magee nurse, and pickle balloons will float in the air.
