For me I read the complex stuff because 1) math papers do put her to sleep, and 2) then I get time to read math papers.
The kid will be fine. It's not as if you won't have conversations with simple words as well. Is my kid gonna understand that Neruda poem about an onion, either? No, but she's developing an ear for poetry, consonance, assonance, rhyme. And she won't be afraid of the word "eigenvector". I grew up with parents who did not know the word "eigenvector" and had friends whose grad student parents could correct their multivariable calculus homework before it got turned in (so she always got perfect scores). We both turned out fine.
Talking to oneself as a technology though does get harder when you get a lot of, "What, mommy?" in response....
