Try not to be too nervous- it is not ideal at all to bring a puppy home at 8 weeks old- but you didn't know any better and now you have the puppy- as long as you are careful and attentive, everything should be okay.
Are you having the dog go on pads? At least until the puppies shots are complete, I would keep him inside at all times (except to go to the vet obviously).
You do have to be careful about hypoglycemia- read the symptoms of it and watch for them. What I did when my baby was young (she also came home too young) was keep kibble available at all times to snack on and then I gave her canned food a few times a day to make sure she was really eating something throughout the day.
Do you have a crate or expen set up? Whenever you can not watch him carefully I would contain him in one of these, so that he does not get hurt.
The vet will be better able to tell you how healthy your little guy is- good luck!
