I, too, did not mean to imply in the slightest that you were crazy or neurotic or anything like that just because you were worrying/wondering... I've had the same thoughts/wonderings/worries as you at various times, and wanted to share my experiences.
:fx: that your bean is a pink one, and I am so glad that s/he seems healthy so far!
I wouldn't read into dates being a bit off, as these ladies have said. Just take it as a sign that this is a strong healthy baby and try yo relax!
All three of my babies have measured ahead at every stage. I have two boys and a girl. I've had the margin be as much at 3-4 days with each of them. But I agree, sometimes it's a slip of the hand or a slightly off cursor that adds a day or two, since most of mine bounced around a lot in the early days of measuring (4 days ahead one week, only 2 days the next week, etc). I wouldn't be concerned that its not a girl based on measurements. My girl always measured a bit ahead too. (She is a decent sized kid too).
my daughter was my second largest baby at 8 lb 6 oz
Don't worry about growth, my boys were all different in measurements and birth weights, my youngest who measured slightly smaller ended up 10lbs! His brothers were 8lbs
