No action on Tom Wtarehouse's baby girl Expecting ... Tom and Hoda Waterhouse. TOM Waterhouse and wife Hoda were awaiting the birth of their first child, a daughter, at a Sydney maternity hospital last night. The couple, according to family sources, checked into a north shore maternity hospital on Wednesday in readiness for Hoda's inducement on Thursday. She is believed to be a week overdue. Yesterday evening excited family members were waiting by their phones for news of the baby's safe arrival. The girl will be a first grandchild for doyenne of Australian racing Gai Waterhouse and husband Robbie, who is said to be beside himself with excitement at the prospect of having a new baby to love. Earlier in the week, Gai posted Robbie's "Baby odds" on her well-read blog. The future "papa" is paying $1.91 if his granddaughter is born weighing less than 7.5 pounds (3.4kg) and $2.01 if she's above that weight. He has her at short odds - $1.10 - to be working in the bookmaking industry by 2032, but is paying much better on the likelihood of her being born clutching a Louis Vuitton handbag ($4). The newborn is at $2 to be playing a role in her father's bookmaking video blog, The Smarts, by the time she's 19. And he was giving short odds of $1.10 that his son would be wearing a suit at the hospital. Father-to-be Tom recently posted a memorable photograph of himself, in a suit, on a Luna Park slippery dip. It is only 14 months since Hoda broke three vertebrae in a skiing accident at Aspen and was airlifted to hospital for emergency surgery.
