point of no return

So its 6:45 pm. Dd usually goes down for her afternoon nap around 2:30/3:00 and is up around 4. Today was a crazy busy stimulating day ... family photos with lots of exploring outdoors and lunch out at Olive Garden being on her best behavior!
Anyway she didn't go down for her nap until 4:15. She was out! I figured she'd sleep about an hour. I laid down on the couch and accidently fell asleep myself. I just woke and she's still asleep. She's been asleep for 2.5 hours!
I'm torn.
Her bedtime is 8 pm.
At this point I'm afraid if I wake her she's not going to want to go back to bed in 1 hr 15 mins. I'd literally wake her to feed her and start our evening routine!
If I hadn't fallen asleep myself I probably would have woke her at 5:15. And she would of had about 3 hours of awake time before bed.
She did have her 15 month shots a few days ago (Monday) and although has napped well at the sitters, I haven't given her the chance to go to bed early this week.
I've got a feeling no matter what I decide I'll regret later tonight! If I get her up I might not be able to get her to go back down. But if I let her sleep she might wake up at 10 pm or 3 am and be wide awake.
WWYD?
Sorry so long! And sorry for spelling - its tricky from the phone.

Got pregnant on our own without Fertility Treatments - January 2016! Thank you snow storm Jonas!
EDD 10/15/16
At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid. Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth. If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP. My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!

Re: point of no return
Good luck! Hope it works out. We've done the same before and it's fine.
I'm thinking I'll put her down an hr later than normal (9 instead of 8). Crossing my fingers that 2 hours of awake time is enough for her to go down without a fight. Espchally after a 3 hr nap!
Tomorrow morning I'll definitely have some lessons learned!

Surprisingly it all worked out (which is a first!) She woke at 7 pm and I thought oh boy am I screwed! We had a later than usual dinner (it was just me and DD - DH was out), played for a bit, and had a bath (even though it wasn't bath night). We were out of the bath at 9:30, nursed, and was asleep by 10 pm. I felt bad keeping her up, but she showed NO signs of being tired, at least not until we started our bedtime nursing!
She STTN ... or at least what was left of it, and woke at her normal time 6:15. She wakes between 6-7 am. I was hoping she'd sleep closer to 7 since she went to bed so late. But no such luck for me!
