Until my pup was fully housebroken, I had him sleep in his crate by my bed but after that he sleeps with us. HE LOVES IT! (And he sleeps later if he sleeps with us rather than in his crate.) I love cuddling with him at night, too. I was afraid at first to let him sleep with us--afraid he'd get hurt if we rolled over on him but it's never happened. He finds his spot and it's all has been okay. I've never been one to let any of my dogs sleep in my bed (although none of my dogs have ever been only 8# before!) but this little guy rules my heart. How can I possibly say no?
THE ONLY THING IS--he could have an accident in your bed (pee or puke) so be prepared and decide AHEAD OF TIME if that'll freak you out. Once you let him sleep w/ you, it'll be very hard (if not impossible) to tell him he can't later.
