Hi and welcome to Yorkie Talk. One of the greatest things about this place is that there are so many people here that have all done different things, so you can get plenty of advice.
I have a 5 month old, his name is Hercules. He's left alone during the day and at night. But he's always in his kennel when he's alone. We are crate training him. If you introduce the kennel at an early age, I think that's best. That way your puppy can get used to the kennel from the beginning. In my opinion that's the best way to go. But I'm sure you'll get some other advice as well.
Good luck, and be sure to keep us posted as to when you get your baby!
