My husband is a fair complected caucasian man, with red hair and freckles. I on the other hand, am mixed, half hispanic, half caucasian, with dark brown hair. I was also born with red hair, which then turned to blonde, and eventually turned to brown. I think it would be really neat to have a redhead being the fact that I am pregnant now, and I am just wondering what the chances are of having a redhead.

Ok, this is for the person that chose to disect my question instead of attempt to answer it. If I choose to call myself hispanic, then that is my perogative. No-one said that hispanic was a race. Show me in my question where it states that. Is this all you do? Look at peoples questions to see if they are talking about hispanics? I would check your questions with your spelling and grammar before trying to correct someone else.

English is not my native tongue as well. As a matter of fact, spanish was my first language.

I shouldn't have to be more specific in my question, because being hispanic had nothing to do with my question. I was trying to add detail to the question so that people could understand better. If you feel this is ignorant, then so be it.
And yes, I think your spelling and grammar should be a little, let's just say, better, if you are going to correct me and my "ignorance." Here, I will help you out. If you can't type ignorant in english, then perhaps you will feel more comfortable typing it to me and my ignorant hispanic self in spanish. Either way, I will understand BOTH ways.

There is no such thing, half-hispanic. Hispanic is not a race.
EDITION
I am fighting against ignorance and stereotypes, that's why I do this kind of things. I don't care about my spelling because english is not my native language. You said:
"I am mixed half-hispanic, half-caucasian", if this is not recognizing that hispanic is a race... Be more specific, to say that you are hispanic to me means nothing. And please, no offenses, I don't want to hurt nobody.
EDITION 2
Oh my God, seems like I've deeply hurt the feelings of someone...
I didn't said you're ignorant, I said I was fighting ignorance (ignorance = substantive, right?). Spanish is your native language but you live in that country, it's easier that way. Look, I am really not angry with you correcting my English. If you are trying to irritate me by correcting me, you'd better find another way. I won't speak Spanish, my native language is Portuguese. Okay?
About your question:
Yes, your child may be readhead, but I don't know how probable is this.

I cant tell you the chances, but obviously they are evident if you have red hair in yourself already. Lets say red hair is recessive trait. So, if your husband is 100% red hair then Id say the baby should show up red with a 50% chance based on whatever strand on that line of genetic code was in your egg.
Things are much more complicated than that with human beings in skin tone etc. but thats generally how traits are passed. I could easily be proven wrong.
The fact alone that your hair changed color could be genetic and utterly dismantle the basic trait model for example. But there could be other stimuli in your life that caused such a change that is not genetic.

Red hair is a recessive gene so you never know for sure.
I had ELECTRIC red hair as a baby and now it's more of an auburn/strawberry blonde. My hubby has brown hair and my baby was born w/ very dark brown hair, but at 10-months it's lightening to closer to my colour.
Friends of mine though have hair about the same colour as mine and my hubby's and their baby was born w/ BRIGHT red hair. His is staying red and they had to go back several generations to find someone else in their family with red hair.
Just the luck of the draw...

basic genetics
you have a one in four chance of definitely having a red haired child,
and a two in four chance of possibly having a red haired child.
unfortunately they don't go together to give you three fourths.
