Baited breath would imply that you had been eating worms... or some other kind of bait. Bated breath is apparently from abated. You will wait not just impatiently, but with great anticipation. You will hold your breath. you will be on pins and needles. you will not sleep.

If you don't like the idea of eating worms, you could also bait your breath by eating honey; especially recommended for trapping flies (but then you have to be sure to keep your mouth open (because flies can't enter a closed mouth).
