My sisters got on me for it, said I shouldn't scare our mom by calling in the middle of the night. But -- I needed my mom, because that's what moms are for. And now you are a mom...it's a great job!
Lol maybe next time call your sisters instead!
I wouldn't worry about it, your mom was probably only worried for the 8 seconds it took for you to tell her what the problem was, and I bet if you asked her, she'd tell you she was glad you reached out to her for help.
I remember feeling annoyed when my first son wouldn't sleep, but it was almost 7 years until I had my second son, and I knew good and well to treasure those moments when we were together in that quiet, sleeping house. It helped that I was a stay-home mom by then, too.
