As long as you've put fluid back in after bleeding them (and put the lid back on the reservoir!) there shouldn't be a problem. I take it you've pumped the pedals a few times, yeah? They're never up to pressure after just one pump, and take quite a few for the pedal to feel solid again.

I'm betting on forgetting to put the lid back on the reservoir.
