snooping through other birth month boards and came across a thread discussing mixed race and interracial babies. Thought it was interesting to see the mix of culture we have here on the bump! I myself am primarily Mexican and Dutch while my husband is German, we have a beautiful dark haired and bright green eyed 5 year old daughter so we are excited to see what features this baby will take from each of us! Any others having mixed race babies?!
Re: Mixed babies!!
I'm Filipino and DH is Caucasian. Everyone says DD looks just like DH, but an Asian version.
Since we are all of mixed race we have NO IDEA what this baby will look like, neither of us has dominant features. I hope he has my curly afro hair. I think babies are so cute with a little Afro.

I must agree that some of the most beautiful babies I know are mixed, it's quite striking to see how traits show!
My dad is African American and American Indian (more Indian then anything) and my mom is Irish so that brought me.
My daughters dad is also American Indian like very very Indian so she's a mixed baby too and she's perfect. She's tall like her dad with his dark curly hair and piercing dark dark eyes. She's my little model.
My previous two kids with my ex where both born with very pale skin and red hair even though we both had brown hair. I am hoping this baby picks up more of the darker genes because super white skin in Texas just isnt practical!
My DH is Chinese - born in HK and came to the states at 3 years old. I am German (1st and 2nd generation on dads/moms side) with blonde hair and green eyes.
We are excited to meet our little one and see what he looks like! We had our first peek at 3D ultrasound and I swear he has my husband's lips and nose already. We will see!
We think lo is going to have dark hair and eyes but we will see.
My husband has blonde hair and blue eyes. Our son is very blonde with big gorgeous blue eyes and looks nothing at all like me. I'm very curious to see how this baby looks.
My DH is half Black / half Spanish. So our DS and LO have Israeli, Norwegian, black and Spanish.
For those who haven't seen my DS. Meet River Jackson...
These were taken yesterday. His blonde highlights are definitely from my Mom.
I think it's so cool because it's almost like a roulette, my son could potentially have his grandma's blue/green eyes, my olive skin or his father's darker skin, I have chinky eyes probably due to the Navajo in me, I can't wait to see what he'll look like! genetics itself is just awesome and extremely interesting to study ! It's too bad that unfortunately I will be the last of my Navajo bloodline (I'm 1/4 - so I have full blooded grandmother) to "officially" be considered Native American. I believe one day in the near future our world will be full ethnically/racially diverse people!
Our second daughter looks like me. Dark hair, medium tone skin, and dark brown/chocolate eyes.
Now, Lexi (our youngest) came out with afro curly brown hair and green eyes with very light skin. She's my husband's doppleganger. All though she's 16 mos, her eyes alternate between shades of green and the occasional honey brown from day to day.
No idea what this LO will look like. None of our girls resemble one another.
I am full blooded Mexican (with some Texan slang thanks to me moving here at 1 yr old) and husband is white with Irish descent hence his brown/red hair and green eyes.
