I agree with Suz a bit. It does sound like you have a lot on your plate right now, and maybe this is not the best time in your life to be working on house training a puppy. Is it possible that there is someone you know who may be willing to take or maybe even share the puppy for you? That way, you will still be able to visit and keep in touch with the puppy's progress, but not have to worry about all the work and all the training.
I am sure you do love your puppy, but you are overwhelmed right now with the baby coming and everything else you have going on. If sharing your pup is an option for you, you might want to consider it. If not and you decide to keep your puppy, then you must convince yourself to have more patience with your furbaby and their potty training. It's a difficult time in almost every yorkie owners life, and it takes a whole lot of love, patience, and understanding to get a pup to be housebroken. We are here for you, and will help to cheer you if and when you need us! You have made a good step by being here, so keep it up and keep trying!
GOOD LUCK!

I just read some of your earlier posts concerning this dog, and it seems to me like you've been havng problems with her for sometime now. You have too much on your hands with your son and a new baby coming, to give her the attention she needs. To even consider putting her in a crate for the entire day and making her sleep in it too is way out of reason to me!!  I can't imagine any dog going pee or poo on a set schedule. Like 7:00 am exactly, then having to wait till 3:00 pm exactly. I know I could never go on that type of schedule. I think if you keep doing what you are doing, you will end up hating this poor little girl. Just my opinion,
