    Kuramochi-san,

    Before power up the timing capacitor is discharged. Therefore at power up the output will go high immediately (within a couple microseconds). The first high output pulse will be 58% longer than the other high pulses after that. The reason is that the capacitor start charging from 0V on the first high  pulse and starts at 1/3*VCC for the rest.
