Visit her, but take the opportunity to talk to the breeder about any questions you might have, get to know the parents if possible and sort out any admin you still need to do. Don't even ask to touch the puppies - the breeder might say yes after you've washed your hands, but it's not a good idea. It shows a lot of understanding, restraint and selflessness to NOT try to touch a puppy when you see a whole litter of cute puppies.
I personally think that the only foolproof time that you can touch someone else's dogs or puppies is when they approach you. Then it would be rude not to. They tend to do this from about 6 weeks onwards.
