Babies born at UT Health J’ville in December receive stockings

Babies born through the month of December at UT Health Jacksonville went home with a special gift this holiday season.

UT Health East Texas presented all new mothers with hand-sewn stockings embroidered with the UT Health East Texas logo. The oversized felt stockings were hand sewn by members of the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

London Amor Maxwell, who was born to Cynara Griffith and Nathan Maxwell at 11:46 a.m. Dec. 3, was the first newborn of the season to receive a stocking. London weighed in at five pounds, 15 ounces and measured 19.5 inches.
