Britt Nicole and her husband Joshua have welcomed their second child early this morning. Their son was born at 4:33 a.m., weighing 8 pounds.

Britt shared the happy announcement on Instagram this morning: "So excited to announce the birth of our beautiful son! :) born at 4:33 this morning and weighing 8 pounds! :) he's my lil hero! I love him soooo much!!!!" The news was met with enthusiastic congratulations and support from fans.

Britt and Joshua have been married since 2012, and their first child, Ella, was born in 2013. Despite the artist's considerable Christian and crossover success and a remix project on the way next month, many of her posts are focused on the much richer joys of her growing family.
