Well generally I would be worried with just one pup, in case he didn't fit through the birth canal...but it sounds like you're completely prepared, and while you never can tell until it happens, hopefully everything will go smoothly. Keep those numbers handy just in case, and try to breathe. How much does your female weigh?
And once she goes into labor, I wouldn't give her more than an hour or two of pushing with no result before I'd get her to the vet...just to be on the safe side.
