I wasn't planning on breeding them just yet because my daughter's wedding is coming up, a move for us is a possibility and my mom has been ill with cancer... so I knew I wouldn't be up for being a "doggie doula" just yet. Since I am *not* in the business I didn't keep track of Jorja's heat cycles and was just going about family life, school, parents, children, life as usual, enjoying my little girl dog for the companion she is.

Sounds like your home could be a madhouse with all the wedding and your mom ill. I would expect the worst, since yorkie mom can pick up on the hecticness in the home. This can cause her to have problems. Alsoyou need to now her due date, since she cannot be left alone at this time. Yorkies do not whlep a litter well by themself, especially the first time. Plus with her being smaller than 5 pounds (and even larger yorkies have had c-sections) is a senerio for trouble. I know of one breeder that left for the store and when she got back her mama dog had her pups - all died on the living room floor and the others were going after the died pups (animal instincts set in) and the mama dog was trying to keep the other dogs away. It was a mess.
