I know I am probably stressing over nothing, but this was a big promotion so now I am completely freaking out that I may have botched it with the salary negotiation request.
Someone help talk me down from my panic attack!

You have nothing to worry about. All part of the game. You know how this game is played. They expected you to counter offer if they realize you are worth your salt, and they do, otherwise the offer would not have made to begin with. You know, just as well as I do, that even if they already know the position is yours, they're going to make you sweat it out for a few days. Congrats on the new position.
