though i have not been pregnant before, ive read alot on it and i'm pretty sure the pain you're experiencing is normal. but you can talk to your doctor or physician to be better assured. coffee isn't really healthy for you in general so i doubt it'll be good for the baby. try avoiding caffinated drinks and start focusing more on proteins and vitamins, it'll better help your baby AND you! =]

Coffee and caffeine in all forms (including tea and soft drinks) should be avoided during pregnancy. However, two cups of coffee should not have caused any harm at this stage.
I suggest you switch to decaf for the duration of the pregnancy, or avoid coffee altogether - even decaf has *some* caffeine. Almost anything you drink or eat will be quickly passed on to your baby, so it's important to think carefully about anything you put in your mouth.
That particularly applies to medications, by the way, including common headache and cold medicines. You should check with your OB/GYN to see what medications are safe for you.
And I should mention that if you plan to breastfeed your baby, you'll need to continue to restrict your intake of caffeine and watch what medications you take after the birth. Even garlic (in excessive amounts) can be passed through breast milk and upset your baby's stomach. Amazing, isn't it?
I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but alcohol and smoking are out of the question. In any case, talk frequently with your OB/GYN and make sure to take prenatal vitamins.
As for the pain in your buttock, it's very likely to be back pain. Almost all women experience back pain of some sort during pregnancy - that's a natural result of the changes your body is going through.
At eight weeks this *does* seem a little early, but hormones are already adjusting your system, making your joints less stable so that your pelvis can spread. So it's not at all surprising that you're experiencing some pain.
Again, you should always check with your OB/GYN (particularly for medication to help with the pain), but there are some exercises that you can do which may help. Here's a link that you may find useful:

You may also want to try sleeping in a semi-reclining position later on, if the discomfort increases.
I wish you an easy pregnancy, a safe delivery, and a healthy and beautiful baby. Good luck!
