Light Spotting

I noticed a bit of "old" looking blood when I wiped after using the bathroom this morning. Is this normal or should I be concerned? I will be eight weeks on Thursday and my first doctor's appointment is scheduled for Monday.

I had some spotting around 15 weeks, but it didn't last long and there wasn't a lot.  The doctor told me not to worry unless I was bleeding a lot (like a period) or if there was cramping along with the spotting.  He found the heartbeat during that appointment and put my mind at ease.
