The ultrasound can be off they guessed my son would be 7 -8 pounds he was only 5 lbs 15oz. But I'm at the same stage as you with my second, I haven't had an ultrasound but the weight sounds maybe a little big but I have pretty small babies so probably average :-)

At 32 weeks my babies were all over 4 lbs and I had over 8 lb babies so I'd say your OK and your baby isn't to big.

It's pretty average. Most babies at that stage weigh close to 3 pounds. Some will be smaller, and others will be larger. Remember as well that fetal weight is only a guess and can be off as much as a pound in either direction.
