I've got a kid on the way around december, im not working right now and my wife doesn't make much cash being a waitress. Could we claim our child? Or is it to late in the year? If we can, how much money would we be looking at?

I know im a bum and you guys are probably thinking "why isn't this douche working?!?"
I just can't seem to find a steady decent paying job. Im trying though.
