Excited. Thats an understatement 
Im literally counting the hours.
The breeder has been absolutely amazing. The love and attention all the dogs got has been amazing. Socialisation spot on. This was their first and only litter.
I have everything in place, a play pen, beds, toys, bowls and even a little outdoor kennel when we sit outside and she needs shade.
Was researching the food as need to get that in place too.

Aw, she’s a little sweetheart! Can’t wait to follow her journey 
Better quality doesn’t always need to cost more.

She is precious!! That face...
This is an excellent comparison and so true about the cheap foods costing more in the long run.

Looks great! Def good for the first period. However they groot out of this really fast and they like to feel safe and a smaller space makes them feel more secure. You could try a normal crate and put a divider in it?! Thats how we did it.
And I wouldnt give her a place to relieve herself at night!!! Get her outside as soon as she cries. It doesnt help the housetraining if you let her poop/pee inside anywhere.

Looks like a nice setup you have. I wouldn't allow her to relieve herself inside the house anywhere. I think you'd just be delaying your house-breaking. I would also put a small crate inside of that pen and allow her to go in and out of it on her own. I think that would help crate train her. I know that's how the breeder of my current boy did it and he was crate trained when I picked him up from the breeder. Even if you don't want to crate her being crate trained is a good idea. They should be in a crate while traveling in a car for safety. They're often in a crate at a groomer or board or vet.
I got this on sale last year on Chewy.com for $35. Initially, I had the divider so he did not have enough space to tee tee in- just enough to sleep in. Then he grew so dang fast, I took it out at 5.5months.
The playpen looks nice and will work in early puppy period, but in awhile she will be strong enough to knock it over.
Prob why it would be good to get a crate. A crate could be life long and she will associate that to her safe place.
When are you due to get your pup?? You have got to be getting hyped up....
