Yes, a full moon appears after waxing and before wanning. A new moon comes before waxing and after wanning
At this point, half way through the cycle, the moon will be full.
A full cycle - e.g., from full moon to full moon - is about 29 1/2 days. From new moon to full moon is half that time.A full cycle - e.g., from full moon to full moon - is about 29 1/2 days.

it can appear to be a full moon but it will be slightly smaller each day
It takes about 29.5 days for the moon to complete a full lunar cycle and reappear in the same phase. This cycle includes all the phases of the moon, from new moon to full moon and back to new moon again.

A full moon occurs about once every month when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun, causing its face to be fully illuminated. This typically happens around the middle of the lunar cycle.
When the moon is the one in the 'middle' . . . New Moon. When the Earth is the one in the middle . . . . Full Moon. (The Sun can never be the one in the middle.)
It will appear as a Gibbous moon (3/4 of a full moon).
If the moon is full today, in a week it will be in the last quarter phase. The lunar cycle progresses from full moon to last quarter over approximately a week, as the moon moves into a waning phase. This means it will appear as a half-moon, with the left side illuminated in the Northern Hemisphere.
The full lunar cycle is roughly 4 weeks, and from full-moon to new-moon is half the cycle, so it would take (roughly) 2 weeks to go from full to new moon.
During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are in a straight line with the Earth in the middle. The sun illuminates the entire side of the moon facing the Earth, making it appear fully illuminated from our perspective.
The next full moon, also known as the "Full Moon Cat," is scheduled to appear in the night sky on date.
