Hatchling question

I have a question about my first clutch. They hatched July 8, and the two Pastels have been in she for a few days now, so they're right on schedule. The little Normal girl isn't, though, and she doesn't even have a pink belly like she's going into shed. She was the first one out, too. She weighes 52g (the same weight as her sister), but she looks thinner to me. She came from the smallest egg, so maybe she got less yolk? Other than being a little behind her siblings, she seems perfectly fine. They're all in identical shoeboxes in my hatchling rack, and temps are 86 hot and 80 cool. Should I be worried about her or am I overreacting? This is my first clutch, so I'm not sure if this is normal or not.

Thanks for the input,
Shelly
