And twenty and one half inches long.
The "D" is for Drew (his uncle). Labor was 8.5 hours long, a record for our midwife. In fact, labor was fairly easy. For me anyway.
Everything is fine. Baby pictures a bit later. Thanks everyone for your support and kind thoughts!

Greetings to wee Huxley, welcome to an amazing world, little one.
P.S. Be good to your Mum and Da!
May they be celebrating his birthday 200 years from now
I for one welcome our new baby overlords!
Congratulations! What a fantastic name!
Say, is it me, or were you posting about Improv Everywhere less than two hours ago? If I had done something like that when my wife was giving birth to our son, I wouldn't be typing this today.
Welcome, small one. May you be captivated and fascinated by life and become captivating and fascinating yourself.
Congratulations!
Welcome to the world, Huxley! Congratulations to the entire Laden family!
congratulations!
That's wonderful news! We had our firstborn son in June. Hopefully Sagan and Huxley will have the chance to know each other as they get older. How young can we plug our kids into the interwebz?
Congratulations! *zaghareet*
Huxley? Awesome!
If you have another one, give them the middle name Hodgkin.
For you I'm sure.
Congrats to all involved.
YAY!
Wonderful name.
Congratulations.
Congratulations! A good Thanksgiving, and warm wishes for the mother.
My son was going to have the initials C.R.D.T.H.H.S., but my wife objected.
Congratulations and best wishes to both parents and child!
Congratulations! Good health and long life to Huxley and hi parents.
somewhere, there's a turkey, oven, and delivery joke to be made, but I'm too buzzed on wine to come up with anything.
congratulations :-)
Congrats!!!!!
congratulations!
Congratulations! Love the name!
(My birthday's in a few hours, so I consider us as being born on the same day...a day for cool people. :))
Congratulations!
There is nothing in this universe as wonderful as a new baby. Enjoy!
Congratulations from upstate NY.
There are (at least) 7812 anagrams for Huxley Drew Laden.
Prob'ly right now Ms. L might prefer When Duly Relaxed, but no doubt will appreciate the aptness of Huddle Wee Larynx.
It may take a little longer for HDL himself to appreciate his Deluxe Wry Handle....
Nice job! Congrats.
"In fact, labor was fairly easy. For me anyway. "
I'm sure the episiotomy was a breeze for you as well.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Congratulations. You must be walking on air. I'm looking forward to the pictures.
Greg's also having an easy time with the nursing too.
Congratulations!
Congratulations from SA to Mom and new baby! Oh what the heck ... and to the dad too!

Congratulations to all three of you. I hope that young Huxley lives up to his name.
Congratulations!
Congratulations
Congratulations to all.
Well, that's one way to consolidate the holiday celebrations. . .
Good luck!
You go to your wife, go directly to your wife, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
You volunteer to get up 12 extra times with baby, redeemable upon her request.
You owe it to her for terming labor "fairly easy".
*shoots laser beams with eyes*
That said, YAY!
(High Density Lipoprotein? Well, everybody's gotta be something)
12 extra times? That's all? Good deal!
Holy shit, how bloody awesome!!! And I love the name, I really, really do...I am very happy for you and the many fitful nights you have to look forward to over the next several months.
Being an insomniac makes that bit a lot easier. Helps when you have yet to actually get to sleep when the second (and usually last) "feed me" comes up.
Now I must check out the pictures.
Congratulations!
Lucky guy this little Huxley, great parents.
Congratulations!
Congratulations Ladens! I also love the name, good choice!
