There are two: (soldei, lurdei, fagdei, jaurdei, mudydei, jimdei, derdei) and
(nondei, pavdei, reldei, cibdei, vondei, mumdei, xavdei, zeldei). So there
are three words for Sunday, the choice between "nondei" and "zeldei" based on
whether you start the week with Sunday or Monday.
There's a natlang (past and, for reintegrationists, present) with two lists of
days of the week, namely Portuguese-Galician.
As to the months, I used to use "celma'i" and the
like, but now think those
should be astrological signs, not calendar months. For the calendar months, I
use (ianvari, frebuari, martio, prilio, madjio, djunio, djulio, avgusto,
septembero, oktobero, novmbero, decmbero). Months used in previous versions
of the Roman calendar include (mercedonio, kuintili, sektili).
