Anything can happen lol Im Japanese and White, my husbands Mexican and White and our 3rd baby is blonde with curly hair and bright blue eyes and very pale! Husband and his mom and my mom have green eyes, mine are brown. First daughter has almost black eyes, tan skin and dark brown hair, son has blonde hair, light brown eyes and golden skin.

My son has blue eyes. I have brown eyes and my hubby has hazel eyes. It`s all about the genes! Like two browned eyed parents can have a blue eyed baby! So anything is possible! :)

Okay, you have to go look at my baby. lol. Seriously though, both of my girls have crazy blue eyes like me and their Daddy`s are brown. My daughter was just in a little photo contest (she won!) and there`s a great picture of her eyes. Check it out, it will give you hope :) The link is, http://kimstahnkephotographyblog.blogspot.com/ and she is the 12th baby down (Gabrielle) with the huge blue eyes :)

My mum has brown, my dad blue~~~ my sisters eyes are blue, mine alternate with the weather between blue or green. My hubby has greyish eyes, and so does my son, and my daughters eyes are blue

canadababy (706.9 days ago)
Blue eyes are the recessive gene, no question. You may be confusing the term 'dominant' as I've also read it as 'dominant' is the expressed (displayed) gene but that's not the same. You need the blue eye gene (recessive) in both parents in order to have a possibility of a blue-eyed child. That doesn't mean either parent needs to have blue eyes though, that's how you know it's recessive..... Check that website from charliebaby http://museum.thetech.org/ugenetics/eyeCalc/eyecalculator.html this is a great website, it calculates the genetic chances of eye colour based not only on the parents eye colour but grandparents...

I have blue eyes and my hubby green eyes. My DS have very nice blue eyes.

I have brown eyes, my DH has green. Our daughter has blue eyes, though her left eye has one triangle of brown in it, odd huh? My left eye has one triangle of green in it in the same place! And the eye color calculator never works for me. Because both my parents have green eyes which aparently means I should not have brown eyes. The calculator does not take into account that my father`s eyes were brown until he was 20ish, his army records all state that he has brown eyes but in his early 20`s they randomly turned BRIGHT green (he claims all the drinking he did back then must have bleached out the color) so eye color is still an up-in-the-air thing, good luck!

My mother has blue eys my dad dark brown me and my sister have blue eyes, my brothers dad had brown eyes and he also has blue eyes.

Dezzi (707.1 days ago)
All of my family (mum, dad, dad`s family, mum;s family) have brown eyes, so my genes are very dominant. Hubby has grey/blue eyes, his family I think is a mix. Since blue eyes are recessive, our babies are most likely to be all brown eyed ! My daughter has lovely brown eyes :) Thank-you Kcity for explaining it better than me! Hubby has one blue gene from his dad, and I have none....anywhere....lol

I have hazel/green eyes and my husband has dark brown eyes and my daughters eyes are BRIGHT blue. Both her Grandmas have blue eyes.

KylaRaquel (707.2 days ago)
Just to let you know, the way genetics with eyes work is this: In order for the baby to show blue eyes, they need two blue genes (one from the mother and one from the father). If the baby receives 1 blue gene and 1 brown gene, brown is dominant, so the baby would show brown eyes, but there is a chance that s/he could pass blue eyes onto their children, should they choose a mate who also is able to give a blue gene. So look on yours or your SO`s side (whoever has the brown genes). Does the mother or father have blue eyes? Or perhaps their mother or father? If so, then chances are they have a blue gene as well... If there are no blue genes in the family, then your baby will definitely show brown eyes (need 1 blue gene from each parent to show blue eyes). Hope that makes sense, I tried to explain it the best I could, lol.

My Dad had brown eyes and my Mom has blue and I ended up with blue ;o) My Mother in law has brown eyes and my father in law has blue and my Husband ended up with blue and one of his sisters has brown eyes and the other has green. Both of our children also have bright blue eyes ;o)

hubby has brown-hazel eyes, and I have green.... we have 1 bright blue eyed girl, and 1 green eyed girl. =)

jessberr31 (707.2 days ago)
And now that I think about it his eyes looked dark when he was born, and they got lighter the older he got.

jessberr31 (707.2 days ago)
Both parents have to donate a blue-eye gene for the baby to have blue eyes. My eyes are hazel/brown and my sons dad has brown eyes and our lo has gray/blue eyes. Somewhere in both of our families there were blue eyes and we just both ended up contirbuting a blue eye gene. I NEVER thought I would have a lo with gray/blue eyes! I just learned that about the genes when I had him. And his daddy is 99.99% his dad since child support automatically does dna tests here. I used to think his dad thought I cheated b/c of his eyes, lol, but I knew I never did so I didn`t care. And lots of people used to tell me his eyes would change. I asked the ped at every appt if his eyes would stay and he used to tell me that it was too early to tell. At his 12mo appt I asked as always and he laughed and told me that yeah, this was his eye color for good. I was happy! I love my little blue-eyed guy! :)

if you have any blue eyes in the family your baby can get blue eyes regardless of what the parents eye colour is, its only when both parents have blue eyes your baby will only have blue eyes, dh and i both have blue eyes so that was the one thing i new 4 sure was what eye colour our two sons would have when pregnant

RJean (707.3 days ago)
I have green/brown hazel eyes and my DH has blue eyes. My father has blue eyes, which gave me the recessive trait that I passed onto my DS. If the brown eyed partner has brown eyed parents, then the baby will probably have brown eyes...good luck. :)

Jerbear (707.3 days ago)
Yes it is possible...I have a more hazel/brown, and his daddy has green eyes. He was born with blue eyes, and still has them at 17 months. Blue eyes do run in my family, as my dad (his grandpa) and my sister (his auntie) has blue eyes.

megandgrace (707.3 days ago)
My ex had brown eyes and i have bright green, my daughter has bright blue eyes!

domsmom2009 (707.3 days ago)

sooexcitedtobemommy (707.4 days ago)
I have blue eyes and dad has brown, almost BLACK! But on both sides of the family everyone has blue!! Except his mother and sister and his sister`s kids both have blue eyes! So I`m keeping my fingers crossed!! :)

danilynn (707.4 days ago)
I heard most babies are born with blue eyes and that they`ll change as they get older.

canadababy (707.4 days ago)
Do you mean you have brown eyes and your DH has blue eyes? Then your child has a good chance of having blue eyes. If you mean both you and your DH have brown eyes than your child still has a chance of having blue eyes if there are blue eyes in either of your families.

amber325 (707.4 days ago)
I have brown and DH has blue....Olivia has his beautiful blue eyes :)

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
