How long did your 2 week old sleep between feedings?
I don't know what's going on! We are at 13 days now and I'm worried DS is almost sleeping TOO much (I know I should count my lucky stars but as a FTM I'm worried about everything). He regained and surpassed his birth weight by day 9 and since then has been going longer between feeds. He still cluster feeds at some point during the day, but like yesterday he ate at 2pm for about half an hour, then at 4pm for about 10 minutes and he was OUT I had to wake him at 7pm, he ate again for 10 minutes and was out again until almost 10! During the night last night he went from 10:45pm-2am, fed for about 25 minutes then slept til almost 7, fed again for about 20 min and is STILL sleeping now. The ped said not to wake him to feed but I can't help but wonder if he's still getting enough. He does have alert/happy time during the day as well, and he pees and poops lots and lots. Am I just being anxious? Is this normal? Should he be going 5 hours between feedings at 2 weeks old?
Feel free to tell me I'm being crazy. I may need that. Thanks!

Sounds totally normal to me. DD nursed every 2 hours during the for a loooong time once she got into a routine around 6 weeks. Before that, it was every hour at times and other times she would nap 3 or 4 hours at a time or sleep 5 or 6 hours at night. When she was sleeping it was impossible to wake her. If you can learn to relax and go with the flow, it would be great but I know I was stressed a lot in the beginning!

Congrats on your new baby!!!
He is totally fine! At 2 weeks old many babies are still sleeping a lot. He'll start to have more awake time soon enough and then you'll wish he was sleeping more! 
As long as he's gaining weight, then he's eating enough. The only suggestion I might have is to continue waking him a bit during the day and NEVER waking him at night so he starts to differentiate days and nights. As he gets older (I'm talking months, not days or weeks) you'll want him consolidating his sleep at night. Though, it sounds like he's already a great sleeper at night.
I will say, though, that this will all change a hundred more times, so don't worry about anything too much now!

Kevin was definitely sleeping a lot at that stage, easily 4-5 hours. Totally normal and now he goes 2.5-3.5 hours.

Yep.
20 minutes a stretch was the longest I ever got.
Round the clock.
She never slept she just dozed. Then screamed, then dozed, then screamed.
I almost lost my mind.
