Hello
I am now in the beginning of 5th week of my pregnancy. I must say I'm very excited and curious at the same time..
I was wondering how might our baby look like, since... my husband is pure Indian with medium-dark skin, black hair, dark brown eyes. I am European with blue eyes, light blonde hair and fair skin.
As far as I'm concerned he has the dominant genes and I would just love to see some of my features in our kid. I'm sorry if it's inappropriate, but I just couldn't help myslef.
Anyone in the same (or simmilar) situation? Or maybe have any suggestions of what the baby could look?
Re: Indian dad + Blonde mom = ?
Not an inappropriate question at all! Everybody wonders what their baby will look like!
My husband is half Jamaican but is VERY Indian looking, and I am 1/4 native and 1/2 British but with very light skin. I always wonder if our baby will come out looking just white, or be a little darker with some help from my native genes and his Jamaican genes... If they'll have tight curly hair, or very loose curls... Whose features they'll inherit most (I think my husband's)!
Theres a ridiculous 'what will your baby look like' thing on TB homepage and I put mine and my hub's picture in and our baby was really something haha

There so are so many possibilities depending on what recessive genes you and your husband have! BUT from what I know and have seen, your baby will probably have darker skin, not as dark as your husband's, brown hair and brown brown eyes. But you never know, baby could have blue eyes! Either way a very gorgeous baby!
My husband is black, Italian, and Native American with a dark olive complexion, black hair and dark brown eyes and his son (my step son) has green eyes, darker skin (not as dark as his) and dark brown hair.
It could be an interesting mix. I have a Chinese coworker with a caucasian husband. Her daughters both have red hair but other Asian features (eyes). They are super adorable and I didn't even know that combination was possible. And DH's friend is Indian (but fairly lightskinned) and has a pale, blondish wife and their kids look completely caucasian. I'm sure your kids will look somewhat like you!
Although my son looks nothing like my husband. Like he only got my DNA. He looks just like my dad.

I have a friend who is Indian who married a Dutch man (blonde/blue). Their first child is blonde/blue. Their 2nd looks just like mommy. Genes will surprise you!
Also, my DD (siggy pic) is 25% Moroccan. Whenever I tell people that, I usually get surprised reactions.
Genetically, the dark hair/eyes will be dominant. I am Caucasian (French-Canadian) and my husband is Chinese. DD got his eyes, darker hair. However, her hair is more of a light brown vs. very dark dark black. She got my complexion (so slightly more tan than cream).
Its normal to want to know how your kids will look.

My DH is from Panama (well, half Panamanian, and half Columbian), with dark brown hair, skin, and eyes, and I'm Caucasian with olive skin and dark brown hair and eyes. Well, our little girl was born 4 years ago with the fairest of skin, light brown hair, and BLUE eyes (my mother has blue, and his father had green).
We expect that this little one will end up looking more like my DH...it would be too funny to have two little ones with fair skin and blue eyes!
I am biracial, caucasian and africian canadian. Brown hair, brown eyes, tanned skin.
My H is caucasian. Blonde hair, pale wite skin and blue eyes.
I expected all my children to take on most of my genes. Our first daughter was a big surprise! She's a spitting image of her daddy (blonde curly hair fair skin) except she got her grandmother's green eyes. Our 2nd almost turned out how I expected. Big brown eyes, brown STRAIGHT hair and she has a nice light tan colour to her skin. I can't wait to see what our next little one looks like!
This is not inappropriate at all! I personally love mixed babies! I don't personally know anyone of the same mix as you and your H, but from the sounds of it, your baby will be beautiful!
I'm Filipino (olive skinned, dark brown eyes and black hair) and DH is Caucasian (very fair skinned, blue eyes and brown hair) and we're so curious to see how LO will look like. I'm hoping he/she has DH's beautiful baby blue eyes but the chances of that are not very likely. But I can only wish.
