PEOPLE was also able to talk to Maddie's parents, Kody and his second wife, Janelle Brown, and they expressed how excited they were to become grandparents for the first time. They said, "I think being grandparents hasn't sunk in yet. It's so fun. I can't believe how much we love this baby already."

They added, "The whole family is excited. In fact the biggest trick will be giving Maddie her rest because there's going to be this long line of parents and siblings that will be continuously wanting to hold the baby,"

The first-time mother, and eldest daughter of Kody and Janelle, shared a photo of her bundle of joy on Instagram, where her thousands of followers congratulated her.

Maddie and Caleb tied the knot last June in an intimate outdoor ceremony held in Bozeman, Montana. Months later, in November, the couple announced that they were expecting. The baby's gender was revealed to US Weekly exclusively in January. 

Baby Axel James is the newest addition to the large family of the Browns, which includes Kody's four wives, as they practice polygamy, and 18 children.
