Once the babies are born, allow the mother at least 3 days alone with them, without being disturbed. This allows mum to become familiar with the babies.

Then, providing mum doesn't mind you coming near the babies, you should move all the babies & the entire nest into a new cage at once. Make sure to place some old bedding in the new cage, so as to lessen the chances mum will reject the babies.

Your mouse is about 5 to 7 days away from having her first litter after she has the litter when will it be safe for you to add more mice?

It is not a good idea to add more mice into the cage, especially adult mice that she does not know! But adding additional newborn mice is a common practice. The sooner, the better, and put the new additions behind her back, so she will think that she delivered them! Do not add any more baby mice when her original litter has started growing "peach fuzz." At the peach fuzz phase, the babies will start to have their own distinct odor, and the mother will instantly recognize which babies are hers, and which aren't. If she smells babies that aren't hers, she will eat them.

Will a new dog weigh 10 grams or 3 kilograms?

If you're talking about a newbord dog the answer is neither. 3 kg is a bit below the average weight of a newborn human baby, which is way bigger than a newborn puppy. OTOH 10 g is down in the size of mice, which isn't particularly accurate either.
