Get the washable potty pads, other wise your new baby will be tearing the paper ones to shreds.
I would suggest also that you get someone to Puppy-sit for the baby for at least the first week. 7 hours is a long time for it to be alone after just leaving mother and siblings. He is going to cry alone and that can stress him out and he won't want to eat. He will be grieving. If you have someone I am sure they would love to sit for a yorkie baby
I also agree with the EX pen. He only needs a small space to run and play that is puppy proof when you are not there. A nice warm, soft bed too, food and water at all times during this young age. The 2 rooms you spoke of may not be puppy proof and I am sure he will think of things to play with that you never thought of.
Be careful of recliner chairs too. And any kind of wild animals outdoors, including Hawks.
And you really should get a vet check first thing.
