New moon is approximately two weeks after full moon.
What happens when Earth has 2 full moons in one calendar month?
Nothing extraordinary happens. Though not very frequently, there will be two full moons in one month due the the moon's cycle and our calender system. By the way, the second full moon of that month is called a "blue moon" (that's where the phrase "once in a blue moon" comes from). It is interesting that there are other ways to define Blue Moon. See link for more information.
How many days are there between each full moon?
about 28 days. This happens roughly every month. (month -> moon)
Is a blue moon possible?
Normally there are 3 full moons every quarter year, one per month. But there is about an 11 day difference between a 12 full moon, or new moon, lunar year and a 12 month Earth solar year. These days add up until it results in a month with 2 full moons. One at the beginning of the month and 1 at the end of the month. This can also result in a very rare 2 blue moon year. The calculation depends on where you live. So while N. America will have only 1 blue moon in Jan. 2010, Australia will see blue moons in both January and March. The reverse happened in 1999. A blue moon happens about every 2.5 years and a double blue moon occurs about 5 times in a century. The term "blue moon" means an extra full moon but we can have, and have had, blue colored moons. Generally this is a result of airborne particles like volcanic ash or smoke.

When is the blue moon in December 2009?
A blue moon is a full moon that is not timed to the regular monthly pattern. Most years have twelve full moons which occur approximately monthly, but in addition to those twelve full lunar cycles, each calendar year contains an excess of roughly eleven days. The extra days accumulate, so that every two or three years (on average about every 2.7154 years) there is an extra full moon. The extra moon is called a "blue moon."
