Concerned for my shih-poo

My husband and I adopted a 2 year old Shih poo and brought her home yesterday. She hasn't really peed or pooped since she arrived (now nearly 24 hours as of posting). We've taken her outside frequently and for 2 half-hour walks. We also have a puppy training mat on the lino floor. She's drinking water regularly and has eaten about a cup of dry food (the same that she had at her old house). I'm telling myself that it's her "new environment & people" nerves. She's been happy cuddling up with us and taking herself to her mat when we eat at the dining table. I just feel like I'm not going to relax until I know she's peed and pooped.

Any recommendations to support some movements for our pupper? Please be kind as I'm still learning lots and looking to learn from others with doggo experience.

UPDATE: Thank you all who encouraged me that she was just getting used to her environment! She pooped not long after I posted and even pooped when we've been for walks! She's settling in and, as a new Shih-poo mum, I'm grateful for this community and your support! I'm looking forward to the adventures and snuggles ahead!
