Question question on preemie yorkies

I just got back from seeing my new furbaby....Lilli Rose she is ADORABLE!! August 13th just isn't coming fast enough!

Anyway, Mom is only 4.5 lbs Dad is 3.5 lbs. Mom had 5 babies. 3 males and 2 females. 1 of the males died the next day, 1 of the females died 2 weeks later (she didn't look good...very very thin) and another boy died 2 days ago. The 2 pups that are left (1 of them is mine) look very healthy...eat good and are very active. The breeder who's male was used for stud said that because she had so many puppies and she was such a small Mom this could be why she had them a week early. This isn't my first yorkie from this breeder...it is however the first breeding of this female.

I would like to know if anyone here has bought a "preemie" pup and if they were healthy. Did you have any health problems with them as adults. I will be bringing Lilli to the vet within 3 days of bringing her home. I would be heartbroken if anything is wrong with her...

Thank you for any input
