It sounds like she is not what you were hoping for and you are not bonding probably because you feel disappointed. If that is the case, this puppy deserves to be loved and appreciated for who she is, if not by you then by someone else.
What confuses me is that you have only had her one week. What has changed about her size in that amount of time to make you feel she will not be what you were looking for size wise, or perhaps you purchased her without knowing anything about trying to guesstimate how large she would be? Anyone who reads these forums knows that is not always accurate!
Also, I don't see the breeder taking her back unless she guaranteed you a specific size puppy and it would be too early to tell her size now anyway!
If you know you won't be happy then there is no shame in thinking of an alternate plan. That would be better than always feeling like you didn't get what you want and are unable to bond because of it. I am sure you care enough about the puppy to want it to be loved like it should, and if you can't, then at least you were honest about it.
