Try your best not to worry. The estimate given during pregnancy is just that, an estimate. There is a range of what is "normal" for weights, especially at the end, and when you have averages, that just means there will be some babies who are naturally a bit smaller, some a bit larger.
I know it is interesting and fun to be told what baby weighs at different stages of pregnancy, but I have seen more women caused unnecessary worry over a small baby, or more often over a "huge" baby, then needs to be. Unless a baby is having true, and obvious, growth issues at one end of the scale or the other, there is no need for concern.
