I'm sure she won't double, I haven't heard of it being a normal thing. She'll probably just "bulk" up a little and grow a centimeter or two.
My oldest was the exception. When she was a puppy, we predicted her to be around 6-7 lbs as and adult (looking at her parents, lines and puppy weights), but even though she ate like a maniac she wouldn't gain any dramatic amount of weight for the first year. Until her heat that is, and that's why the change was so drastic. That being said my second one is from the same mother and has my oldest ones grandfather as a father (phew, half-sibling and aunt at the same time to her big sis..) and she's only about 4lbs. But she didn't have the same weights or bonestructure as my oldest while she was still growing so I doubt she'll double. If she did double however, it would unfortunately probably have to be sideways sooner than length/height-wise..
