Mitchell,

This is normal operation. The router coming out of interface wait
state first will continue to resend the initial database packet every
retransmit interval seconds. The router in wait state will exit
wait state when he receives a hello from the other guy (assuming these are
the only guys on the ethernet and the first has elected himself DR).
