A and B are dominant to o. Your baby will have a blood type of either A or B, the baby cannot have type AB or O. Your baby's children (your grandchildren) could have A, B, AB or O depending on the other parent's blood type.
The Rh is a problem. Your baby could be Rh+ (the baby may have either a 25% or 50% chance of being Rh-). If your baby is Rh+ your body could react to the baby as if it were an invader. You will need to tell your Ob-Gyn ASAP when/if you get pregnant. You will be given a shot during your pregnancy that will keep your body from attacking the baby.
This isn't as serious in 2007, there was a time where it would have meant a death sentence for the baby (thus the old practice of a blood test for a marriage license), but now it is easily dealt with.
The genetics look like this, you have the genes A and B and your baby will get one of them. Your hubby has genes o and o and the baby will get one of them so the baby will be Ao (with a blood type of A) or Bo (with a blood type of B). The Rh factorlooks like this: you have - and -. Your hubby has either a + and + or a + and -. If he has a + and +, the baby will have +- and be Rh+. If hubby has a + and a -, the baby will be +- (Rh+) or -- (Rh-). (it is much easier to describe with a pen and paper.) Your doctor can describe this better for you (and draw it for you too) if you have more questions.
Regardless of what the father's blood type is, if mom has AB, the baby will have either A or B (and vice versa if dad has AB). That is how they used to use blood types to determine if a baby belonged to a particular man. This has problems for children whose mom has AB and doesn't say that a man IS the father, just that he could be.
Hope that helps.

It really just depends on what gene is handed down to your baby, so honestly it is impossible to tell. You may already be aware of this too, but just heads up on you having a negative blood type. You are at risk for an "allergy" to your baby's blood if it enters your system during birth if the baby has a positive blood type. You will be given an immunoglobulin after birth to prevent any type of reaction to the next baby you may have.

Honestly, I think O+ is dominent even though it is rare. My dad is O+, my mom B+. My brother and I both are O+. My boyfriend is AB+ and our 6 week old son is O+.
Judging on my family, I would say your baby will be O+, but I am by no means an expert.

A+ or B+ if you husband is homozygous for O+. If he is heterozygous(has an allele for O-) then A- or B- are also possibilities.
