Dawson's a daddy again! Actor James Van Der Beek and wife Kimberly welcomed their second child Tuesday morning.

"Had my first son this morning," the 35-year-old former Dawson's Creek star tweeted. "Well, actually my wife had him. I just caught him. Wow. Heart expanding way faster than my brain…"

The Van Der Beeks, who've been married since 2010, are also parents to a 17-month-old daughter, Olivia.

Naturally, the proud papa took to Twitter to express his joy: "If you could bottle up and distribute this feeling, I swear there'd be no more war. #fatherhood."

Congrats to the happy family!

(See, Dawson, you weren't meant to be with Joey after all!)
