Lots of pee

Saying "NO!" to me is scolding, but I didn't mean to sound like you were being "mean." I do, however, think a seven week old puppy being potty trained needs less of "NO!" and more of being taken out religiously and not getting any scolding, for she is far too young to control herself. It's just wasted effort if you're trying to make an impression, because until she can control her body, she will have more accidents, as is evidenced by the fact she woke up, immediately whimpered, then peed.
The point of my post wasn't to criticize, just to point out a possibility, however likely or unlikely, she might have urinated after being scolded.

Yeah, this. I've never scolded a dog for peeing on the floor. I'll pick them up, plop them outside, and say "go pee".
Constantly supervise and take her out more often. Praise her (lots of praise and treats) when she pees in the right spot.
Taking her to the vet to have a UTI ruled out isn't a bad idea either if you're worried about her peeing multiple times in a row.

I agree with Jessie. When a pup is young, take them out after eating, napping, sleeping, drinking water, and every 2 hours even if they don't have to go. We did this for 2 weeks straight and got the pup trained so quickly. I know this isn't feasible for all but one of us was home all the time so we could do this.
If you see the pup going to pee or poop, pick them up, bring them outside, and I always say "good pee or good poop" when they go. Yes, you're neighbors will think you're crazy when they hear you saying this, but that's what love is all about!

I understand your concern to be the number of times she peed in such a short interval of time. Most likely she just had a full bladder and didn't wake up in time to let you know she had to go out. Was interrupted on the way out the door. And sometimes with a full bladder as a puppy, there can be an "Oh wait there's still more" feeling after going pee. So she just finished evacuating her bladder.
But if it is happening often, then (as others have mentioned) a trip to the vet is necessary just to be sure everything is ok.
