Just get a low VOC paint and make sure it's well ventilated. You'll be fine.

I spent maybe 90 minutes painting the nursery with latex paint two days ago. With both bedroom windows wide open. That's all I'm planning to do for painting. I'm not sweating it and you shouldn't either. It can't be worse then all the people with cigarettes I have to navigate walking 5 blocks from the parking lot to work everyday. The way we carry on about toxins these days you'd think it was a miracle that anyone ever survived until the last decade or so.

My friend did that (and also got her fingers in the outlet) but everything was fine and she had a healthy baby. Don't paint too much though, and if you paint again make sure the room is well ventilated.
