I just found out that by this point in my pregnancy (beginning of the third trimester) I should have gained about 17-24 lbs. I am actually just back to the weight I was when we found out we were pregnant in March. (I lost a lot of weight in the first 4 months of pregnancy).
I know, you're not supposed to worry about gaining weight when you're pregnant as it's a natural occurrence and is necessary for the healthy growth and development of the fetus but I was overweight in March! I gained a whopping 50 lbs with Joshua and it did not entirely come off in those first 9 months following his birth (before I became pregnant with #2). So, to me, this lack of weight gain is a wonderful thing! (I am still at a more-than-healthy weight, believe me!)
In fact, my doctor told me at my last appointment that if I continue like this and have 3 more kids, I can be 110 lbs by the time we're done! (I realize that at almost 5'11'' that's just not possible ... but a girl can dream, can't she?!?) ;)

You look fabulous darling! (said like Zsa Zsa Gabore)
I love that little belly of yours!
It turns out I weigh the same now as I did at this stage with Joshua (even though I started out 30 lbs heavier). Now if only I can keep from gaining the entire 25 lbs that I put on with Joshua in the last 12 weeks! *eek*
wow, weight loss during pregnancy. is it safe?
