Now in all honesty that does not sound normal Matt. It sounds to me like there is fuel that is still dripping into the manifold after startup. On older 1st and 2nd gen that employed a Quadra-Jet use to have this problem. When the car would sit, the fuel would leak through the base plate and flood the engine causing a hard start. You may want to inspect the plugs if you get a free minute, just pull a couple of them out and see if any of them are wet and black and smell like raw gas. You could also be due for a fuel injection service as well. If you do end up doing that I recomend a fuel filter as well.
