My Baby stays home all day on Tues and Thurs in an xpen with pee pads down. I have a shower curtain down under the pee pads to help stop any messes. I have the pee pads on the whole floor of the xpen so he can't have an accident. When we are home we leave the gate open and he runs in there when he has to go. He is 13 weeks also. The first 10 days we had him there was some one with him all the time and we took him to his pee pad everytime we thought he had to go. We kept track on the kitchen white board so we knew his schedule. I would say that he is 80% pad trained now. He has pee accidents sometimes but will get down off the couch to go to the pads. He has started daycare and they are taking him outside to potty so he is learning both. I was worrying he would get confused but so far so good. Once the never ending Maine winter and snow let up I will start transitioning him outside.
I would try the xpen with the pads. There is an inexpensive one at WalMart. It can really set them up for success. Good luck!
