You know I tried to guess this with my children based on genetics. I figured with my brown hair and blue eyes and my husbands brown and brown....we were going for BROWN!. I could not have been more wrong. I ended up with....
1. Blond, green
2. Blond, green
3. Blond, blue
4. Reddish, BROWN!
Nothing worked in figuring THAT out! Seriously, I would say brown hair is a given. As for the rest of it, you will be surprised with the eye color, sex, personality, wonders, joys and happiness of what your child will bring! Good luck and best wishes.

Hi. I majored in biology and did have a genetic class but unless I had a rundown on your parents, grandparents and siblings, it would be difficult to estimate the genetics of your child.

However, our families are very similar and I can tell you about my personal experience. I have brown hair and hazel eyes and my husband has black hair and brown eyes. My side of the family has brown hair and blue eyes. My grandfather had red hair. My husband’s side of the family, with the exception of my husband, has blond hair and blue eyes. Here is a rundown of my kids:

My 5 year old daughter was born with a thick head of jet black hair. As she grew up, her hair turned chestnut brown and she has beautiful brown eyes.

My 2 year old son was born bald. Now he has the lightest blond hair in the entire family and his eyes are beautiful light green.

My 1 year old daughter was born with a small amount of light brown hair. Her hair has turned a strawberry blond and her eyes are dark brown.

I hope that helps. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Being a mother is the best job in the world. If I wasn't 44, I would have another precious baby. Take care.

The hair and the eye color are going to be hard to figure out, I think I remember learning something in school about the amount of oil plus your diet has determining factors in your hair color, But I could be wrong. If you want for fun you can go to many different sights that will show you what 2 people baby will look like, but you need a pic of yourself and you partner. Have fun.

My sister Sarah has a different dad, however from me and Denise and i do not know what he looks like. Both of my grandpas had blonde hair and blue eyes and so did my grandmothers.
