Parenting....

So I was at dinner with Adam the other night for my birthday (oh yeah, had a birthday, turned 28, whoo hoo).  I was discussing with him how I feel SO MUCH pressure (mainly self-inflicted) to be the perfect parent.  He thinks it's completely normal, but I wonder!  I can honestly fill up hours in the day thinking about how I am raising Ella.  Am I feeding her correctly?  Is what I'm feeding her keeping her healthy, or unknowingly going to cause her cancer 20 years down the road?  Am I reacting properly to her new little mis-behaviors? Am I away from her too much, or is it really good for her to be around other people through-out the week?  Am I spending enough time focusing on teaching her how to grow up to be a nice human being? These are the kinds of thoughts that churn around and around and around in my head on a regular basis.  Am I the only one that obsesses about these sort of things?  I think I read about seven (yes seven) sleep books when Ella was a newborn.  I've read books and blogs on nutrition, and now have started reading "Love and Logic Parenting".  Ironically, one of the chapters begins by telling the parent that raising a child is not rocket science, just keep it simple and fun.  Ha!  Good advise, but I have a hard time following the "keep it simple" part.  The "fun" part comes quite easily to me, considering that Ella is such a happy little girl.  I flip-flop between being totally excited for her to grow up and experience life, and being utterly terrified for her to grow up and experience life.  So, not really looking for advise here, but just wondering if any of you out there feel similarly about raising a child.  Am I the only COMPLETELY OBSESSED parent out there?!
