in the morning when I start it up the oil pressure is down but when it warms up it goes back to normal is this ok or do i have a problem?
 
If the oil level is fine, think about the last oil change. If it is overdue, the viscosity of the oil might be breaking down. If it's not overdue, it may be time to change that sensor.
 
what brand oil filter are you using? If you're using fram, CHANGE IT!
If you have to use a fram, only use the tough guard, the rest are junk.

Use Wix, Purolator, AC Delco, Napa, Baldwin, etc...

I'll bet the oil filter is plugged and is in bypass, which takes a bit of time to fully open up when cold.
in fram's case, the backing plate slips because it's held on with elmer's white glue, once it slips, the filter can't bypass and it can't filter, it simply passes oil through after the oil pump is able to push oil past it at a steady pace.
 
If you had already check your oil level, and its good, then more and likely its the pressure sensor not working like it should.
