Thank you. I think I will try taking the water up earlier and then setting my alarm for about 3:00 AM. If that doesn't work, I'll go for the diapers.
I am trying to train mostly to go outside, but on the peepad when I'm not home. My puppy stays upstairs while I'm not home, and there's a door to the balcony where I let her out and I put the peepad right in front of that door while I'm gone. When we're downstairs she uses a different door to go out into the yard. Maybe 2 doors is too confusing, but I do have separate floors and don't stay on one the whole time.

First of all, realistically you can't expect your baby to be fully housetrained at such a young age. Generally it can take up to 1yr and even then some Yorkies never fully catch on and will go to their spot 99pc of the time and anywhere the other times. I had a 5lbs girl that I "thought" was housetrained until the summer came and I started to smell pee. I smelled my oriental rug under my diningroom table and sure enough, it smelled like pee, so I'm sure she had been going on my rug and I just never caught it. She also would leave me little packages under there. I would first rule out that there is no medical reason (ie: UTI or anything). Next, you right with taking up water however I would personally do it around 7pm (just me). If you take her outside and she does not poo/pee you can't let her back in without watching like a hawk. I'm not sure if you outside train, peepad or both? Until you get this under control as far as the bed, two options...set your alarm clock to take her out in the middle of the night to go pee, or put a doggie diaper on just incase. I used to buy the diaper and then buy little human minimads, cut them down to size and put them in the diaper.
Good luck, be patient and persistent in whatever route you take, once this is back under control it will be much better..
