Cats are almost as good at reproducing as rats and mice.
A female cat becomes sexually mature at the age of four to ten months. If she isn't impregnated, she will come on heat every twelve to twenty-two days. Pregnancy lasts about two and a half months, and then she normally nurses the kittens for about four weeks. Once she gets fed up with them nursing, she'll rapidly get pregnant again.
Typically, female cats will have around three litters a year with an average of four kittens in each. They can keep this up for years and don't become infertile in their old age, so it's possible for a female cat to produce two hundred kittens in her lifetime. (And of course about half of them will be females who start having their own litters when they're a few months old.)
The kittens you saw were presumably relatively mature if they were following her around the neighbourhood, so I think it's entirely possible she's preggers again. She could have been pregnant the first time you saw her, but not so far along it was obvious.
