How old? Baby eye color changes. Wait until 1 year old to be sure.
If she is already older than 1 year, then it's not from your husband ! :-) I'm joking.
If grandparents have blue eyes, of course your kids have a chance to have blue eyes.

Blue eyes is a recessive gene. So if both your mother and his mother have blue eyes then it is definitely possible. Imagine the gene sequence for blue eyes being "bb". The little "b" means it's recessive. Only if you have the "bb" combination will you have blue eyes.
I suspect you and your husband's fathers' have brown eyes?
I will speculate further: You and your husband's genes probably look like "Bb". Which means that the dominant "B" brown eyed gene is what you have for your physical appearance, however you both carry the recessive blue-eyed gene "b". Basically your offspring have a 1 in 4 chance of being blue-eyed:
__B__b__
B BB Bb
b Bb bb
Above is a Punnett Square. Remember that your baby has half of your genes and half of your husband's. That is why I am guessing you both are Bb. If you both have brown eyes and the baby's eyes are blue, then this is how that would come to be.
*Sorry if this is over your head*

I had a baby last year, shes 13 months now, she has the biggest bright blue eyes, more like turquoise. I have very green eyes and my husband had dark brown eyes. My husbands father has bright blue eyes, so I guess they came from there.
I have brown hair and my husband too, my mother has ginger hair and so does my sister. My little girl has ginger hair, I guess these things skip and swap. It will be very interesting to see if my sisters baby will have her ginger hair, the way things are going, I doubt it.
so the answer to your Q is yes, it is Very possible for that to happen as Im living proof of that.

I have a little boy here right now with the most blue blue eyes! Mommy and Daddy both have brown eyes as do BOTH sets of grandparents!
His aunt on one side has blue eyes, and a couple of cousins on the other side blue eyes.
Odd how genes and things work!

Of course it's possible. You and your husband both passed on a recessive blue gene that you carried to the baby. If either one of you had passed on the brown gene, the baby's eyes would be brown because that is the dominant gene. It would be much odder if you and your husband both had blue eyes, and the baby's eyes were brown.

Yes it is possible if both parents carry recessive blue eyes genes (this trait is recessive compared to black eyes genes). However, the probability is just 1 over 4. And you aren't sure that both recessive genes will surface on your fourth baby. Try investigating about your family tree. If one of your direct relatives have blue eyes, and you don't, you have blue eyes recessive genes.

Yes its possible. How old is your baby? All babies are born with blue eyes, which usually change to the adult colour by the first year.
My mother has grey eyes, my father brown, and the kids have the following colours - green hazel, grey hazel, brown, brown, brown hazel, blue, green and blue.
I have brown eyes, my husband's are blue, and one child with green hazel and three with blue eyes.
So there you go, even if they say brown eyes are dominant, it doesn't mean the kids will have brown eyes.

I read that mostly all white babies are born with blue eyes. No one in my family or my husband's family has blue eyes but my son does. I was born with blue eyes and kept them until I was about 10 but now they are hazel. You son's may change or they can stay the same since his grandparent's eye's are blue.

Yes! It's called heridity. If your husband has a recessive blue eye gene and you have a recessive blue eye gene, and you both pass the recessive genes to your child, your child WILL have blue eyes.

yep
Don't forget that baby's will be changing they eyes color for first 5 years from birth. So it's totally possible for Ur baby have blue eyes, even if u don't. He could of get it from Ur parents.
Don't worry, blue eyes r cute!!!
