Two weeks? That's strange. I've always heard six weeks.

It's probably just hard because it is swollen. Generally, you are supposed to clean lip piercings every night to avoid infection, usually with a saline solution (salt water). If you do this every night, and make sure you have the jewelry in most of the time for the next few weeks, it should be fine.
