Started the process!

I'm officially working with a loan officer, however my loan has gone to manual underwriting...

He said it could take up to 2 weeks to get a final approval decision. Anyone else had to wait that long? Any words of wisdom while I wait?

Each bank has their own turntimes, and some banks are taking a few weeks to underwrite (although majority are still a week or less), so as long as it's normal compared to other loans at the same bank, I wouldn't worry about the wait.  I can tell you to keep the stress down though, don't get too concerned over it.  It's just a loan approval, and if you don't get approved they'll let you know what is holding you back, and then you know exactly what you'd need to work on.
