Add html code before first post when using WP Page Numbers

    Hi, I have a question

    My index page shows all my post, shows 2 post per page, shows first the most recent post. I used the WP Page Numbers plug-in for pagination, and works great.

    But I need to do this, before the first index page post appears in page 1 (no matter the post category) I need to add some html code before the las post, so it have to look like this:

    post page 1
    //some html code
    post 1
    post 2

    post page 2
    //empty
    post 1
    post 2

    post page 3
    //empty
    post 1
    post 2

    I′m new in WP, I have used it for 3 days (great by the way) I know that I have to add some code in the index.php between the loop of posts, I have like 15 posts but I used the function $wp_query->post_count() and it returns only 2 posts (posts per page and not the total).
    So basically what i need is a function that return me the total post (no matter the category)
    and having that I can add a counter and do something lige this
    while…
    if is_home() and if $count+1 == total
    {//add html code}
    show post

    Ok I get all post number, in this case 15 as I want, but the pboblem is that as I display 2 for page and use pagination, every time I clic on a page number link the $counter stars again in 1 so the $counter+1 is never equal to 15 as I want to know if is the last post in my index, this is the code, again the question is how to know that a post is the last one so I can put some html code before it?

    <?php

get_header();
if (have_posts())
{
$counter= 1;
$post_count = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'post' ;"));

echo '<p>total POSTS: ' . $post_count . '</p>';

  while (have_posts())
  {
	echo '<p>Counter: ' . $counter. '</p>';
	if($counter+1 == $post_count){?>

         //....HTML FOR FIRST POST

    <?php
    }else{
    	$contador++;
    }
	art_post();
  }
  art_page_navi();
  if(function_exists('wp_page_numbers')) { wp_page_numbers(); }

} else {
  art_not_found_msg();
}
get_footer();

    Ok I made it, wp rules ?? I select the ID of the last post (last date) and print the html only if the actual post id is the same as the last post id

    $post_id = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'post'
	ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0 , 1;"));

  while (have_posts())
  {

  	if($post->ID == $post_id){?>
          //add html code
