The Voice Kids coach Billy Crawford and his wife, Coleen Garcia, usher in the "Ber" months with joy as they celebrate the arrival of their second baby.
Coleen happily announced on Instagram that she gave birth to her and Billy's second child, Austin, last August 17.
"On August 17, we welcomed our beautiful baby boy, Austin, into the world. And it was the experience of a lifetime," she said.
The actress shared that she initially planned to have another water birth--this time in a hospital--but instead quickly delivered her baby via the traditional normal birth.
"It all happened so fast--I was supposed to get an IE (internal examination), dim the lights, play some music, soak in the tub.. Instead, I gave birth like two minutes after entering the delivery room.
"I was still standing there in the same spot, looking down at everything--everyone in the room completely shookt--and all I could say was: “Well.. that happened.” I was laughing about it, while my mom was stunned and holding the baby in disbelief."

Coleen then reflected on the birth of her second child, noting that the experience was significantly different from her first. She and Billy welcomed their firstborn, Amari, on September 10, 2020.
She related, "My first birth caught me off guard and left me with some trauma because I didn't know what to expect. This birth was the opposite. I was prepared with things I packed but never used, techniques I didn't really have the time to apply, and plans that didn't unfold the way I imagined.
"Both births were special and beautiful in their own ways, and God carried me through each of those journeys just as He always does. I felt His presence all throughout, and it shielded me from fear and anxiety, reminding me once again that His plan is always greater than mine."
