The blades are the cotyledons or 'seed leaves' - they provide the first
bit of food while the seedling gets established. There should be two of
them on each seedling. There will be a pause while the seedling gets a few
roots going, then it will produce the first true leaves, which are fine
and feathery.

Most of the carrot family seem to produce long thin cotyledons.

Mine are exactly the same...
