eyes. My dad has dark hair and blue eyes, and my mom has dark hair and brown eyes. His parent both have brown hair and blue eyes. What do you think? or is it impossible to tell?

We all have 2 versions (called alleles) of every genes that decide the eye or the hair color. One is always dominant over the other. Brown eyes is dominant over green, which is dominant over blue (even if the green version is rarer). So, your husband has 2 blu alleles, so your child will have at least one. You have a blu and a green, so it'll be 50% chances to get a kid with blu eyes and 50% green eyes.
For the hair, dark is dominant over blonde. Since both your parents have dark hair, you probably have 2 dark brown alleles, but there's always a chance that one of your parents gave you a blonde allele and the brown allele of your other parent is just dominant. Your husband will give your child a blonde alle, but there's a very good chance your kid will have dark hair because of your genes. It's impossible to determine for sure, but I'd say 80% brown hair, 20% blonde hair.

You never know about the hair color. The baby is more likely to have brown eyes rather than blue. Green eyes is a mutated gene produced from brown eyes and not hereditary. Brown is the dominant gene rather than blue. However with that said, I have blue eyes and my husband has brown and 4 out of my 5 children have blue eyes. So yes, basically it is impossible to tell. But you are guaranteed to have a precious gift that will be beutiful no matter what!!

When you look at your baby for the first time, it will be the most beautiful child you have ever seen. Most babies hair and eye colors change from what they are born with. Mine all started out with blue eyes and light hair. Now I have two with light hair, three with dark brown, and eye colors ranging from light blue to dark brown and everything in between. I have red hair and none of my kids have it. It really is hard to tell until they get older.

Not sure about the hair (probably brown but could be light as a child).
Green eyes are the rarest of all eyes, so my bet is the baby will have blue eyes.
Good luck and congratulations! :)

Truly impossible to tell. Odds are he will have dark hair and brown eyes (these are the dominant traits). However, there is a chance (and they are betting odds!) that the child could be blonde haired/blue eyed (or any combination of them all!).
Just think....you have a lifetime of things to discover about this child. You have no idea if he/she will be left or right handed, silly or serious, a day person or a night person, a lover or a fighter, EVERY DAY IS A NEW ADVENTURE!!!
You are about to begin a journey that will last a lifetime......and there is no set destination. It is the JOURNEY itself that matters.
My best to you....

It is impossible to tell hon....my husband has black hair and brown eyes, and I have blonde hair and blue eyes. We have 4 children...our oldest has dark brown hair and brown eyes, #2 has dirty blonde hair and sky blue eyes, #3 has light brown hair and grayish-blue eyes, and #4 has carmel colored hair and green eyes!! There is no way to tell but have fun guessing:)

Just depends on what genes the baby gets. More likely to have darker hair and of course blue eyes at first anyway.

its impossible to be sure, but, brown eyes are dominent over light. however, my dad has brown and my mom has green and i was born w/blue (after my grandfather). my husband has green/hazel and my daughter was born w/blue.
BUT, my guess is your baby will have light eyes and dark hair.
good luck and congratulations :)

If it were actually possible to tell, just by hearing the descriptions of all of the child's ancestors, then all of your future children would look exactly alike!
I'm sure the baby will be beautiful, regardless which features it gets from your or husband.

You can get a rough guess if there are certain traits that you see repeating in your families; say shape of the nose, ears, over-all look of the face. Other than that, there is no way of knowing untill the baby is born.
