Humans have several eye color genes. Two of these genes are named bey2 (brown eye) and gey (green eye).
Genes come in flavors called alleles.
The bey2 gene has two flavors - brown and blue. Brown is dominant over blue
The gey gene also has two flavors - green and blue. Green is dominant over blue
The alleles of the two genes have a dominance hierarchy - bey2-brown is dominant over everything else, gey-green is dominant over bey2-blue and gey-blue but recessive to bey2-brown, and both of the blues are recessive to everything else.
So, to answer your question we wold need to know your parent's eyes' colour.
Waiting for this, have a look at this site and try to work it out for yourself:

Congratulations!! Brown eyes dominant so your chances are very good that your girl will have brown eyes as well. Good Luck to your wife with the pregnancy.

Brown would be the dominant gene but the child could have blue eyes or green as well.

The gene for brown eyes is the dominant one in your duo. But my husband has brown eyes, mine are green, and our son has blue eyes!

It's more likely that she will have brown, but she could end up with green...or another color that is in the family...I guess it also depends on what color eyes each of your parent's have. You never know what recessive genes you carry...if you and your wife both have recessive blue eye genes, she could have blue eyes!
Ain't genetics fun!!

if brown eyes are a dominant trait and green eyes are recessive, she probably has a 75% chance of having brown eyes and a 25% chance of having green.

Just guessing,,, Brown.
my ex has brown eyes, I have blue eyes and all three of our kids have differnt color eyes
Oldest has green eyes
Middle has Blue eyes

Other than the eye color all three of my kids look alike, it's scary..
