Let someone else do it and use LOW VOC or NO VOC paint -- or better yet, use Milk Paint, the same thing the colonists used. It is completely non-toxic! Also, be careful of fumes and other allergens from all the new stuff you are moving into the baby's room (fumes/allergens in furniture: http://www.healthyfutures.com/blog/furniture). Doing things like washing clothes and bedding with no-fragrance detergent helps. And keep the room well-ventilated, even before the baby arrives!
