Ok I dont know if you meant this to happen or if this was an accident but Im not going to criticize, because things sometimes happen. First off get your male dog neutered to prevent this from happening again and after a significant amount of time, when the pups are weaned, get the female spayed. Another thing I know you mean but do NOT advertise puppies on yahoo answers. Place an ad in your local paper and actually talk to the people that call asking for puppies. Do not go on a first come first serve basis, you wouldnt want a puppy going to the wrong family. Ok now for the big event, you have 63 days to prepare, give or take. In that time take your dog to the vet get her checked out, and talk to your vet tell them this is your first litter and youre unsure of what to do. They more than likely will give you a very detailed explanation. At this time start setting aside some money for an emergceny c-section, small dogs have lots of complications during labor and you could end up losing both mother and pups so make sure you have money and a vets number at hand. Also ask some dog savvy friends to come and help with the labor, youll need lots of hands to help dry off pups. Prepare a box with a shelf in it and lots of newspaper the shelf is to keep momma from rolling on the pups. When you dog starts going into labor she will start panting tearing at the newspaper and acting kinda weird. After she settles down she will know what to do but it is good to have towels and the phone by just incase. After the birth the mother will have to go outside immediately to relieve herself so you may want to set the box where she can easily get out of door. This is just the basics check out this informative website and again I cannot stress enough talk to your vet!http://www.westwoodlabradoodles.com/...ngpuppies.html
