Hope any mother can relate

My baby girl is 3 months. This is me and my husband's first baby. He recently went back to work and likes to stay in touch on his breaks and lunch as he works 12 hour days. I love that he wants to check in but he calls at the worst possible times. Coincidently it's when the baby just fell asleep or she's being fussy. Today I had just put her down for a nap and he called and she woke up right away 🫠 she was up from 6pm-midnight. She was fighting her sleep since she missed a nap and now was running on what I am assuming high cortisol levels. I been reading online if they go past about 1.5hrs without a nap they can't go down for a nap or it's harder cause they're over tired. I been telling this to my husband and it's like he doesn't understand it or maybe doesn't care. He tried helping me put her down but she kept waking up and he had to be up early so he went to bed after a while. I showered my baby to try and help her relax but she was still crying. I set the room dim and put white noise still crying. Tried feeding a little more maybe she was hungry still but she kept crying. I finally gave in and turned on a movie cause I was like ima just see if she will watch tv at this point I didn't know what to do. Anyways as soon as I put a movie on she fell asleep 😂 Is there any other moms that have babies who miss a nap and stay up for hours without being able to help them go down for a nap? I feel so alone on this as I asked my sister and she said she never experienced her babies staying up for so long without napping.
