Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. 64 days is very close to when she should be giving birth. Often dogs will look bigger or smaller based on if they have just eaten, and what position they are lying in, so I wouldn't worry too much about how 'big she looks'. I would make sure you are feeding her a good high-quality puppy food, canned food is best to make sure she has good water intake. Also, make sure she has a nesting area where she can go when she whelps (gives birth). If she seems to be straining and unable to pass a puppy, weak, tremoring, scratching at her face, or acting abnormal, please haver her seen by a vet. Best of luck with Poppy and her puppies.
