I really want to look my best for mother's day and the earliest appointment I could get was May 7th. Should I wait until after Mothers day which is May 9th to have it done?

Thank you for your question. It is most likely the bluish color you are experiencing is called the Tyndell effect and happens when the Juvederm is injected to superficially. Because Juvederm is a hydrophilic filler, meaning it attracts water I do not always recommend it for the tear trough area...
You have such very deep lines above your lip that in my opinion injecting Juvederm or any other filler would either make a minimal difference or last such a short amount of time that you would be unhappy with the money you spent.
You would do better to consider a more permanent solution such as...
Color change to the lips can occur after filler. It may get bruised it may be swollen or it could be ischemic. If it is ischemic then it is a medical emergency. You probably want to speak with your doctor.
