    Genetically speaking of course.  Our future family will definitely have all blue eyes, and Type O blood!  (+ or -)!

    They'll have light brown hair, brown eyes, and a tendency to eat way too much ice cream! :P

    More blonde haired, blue-eyed babies here!  I don't know about blood type but odds of them having an athletic build are pretty good too.  Fun question!  I'm curious to see what other bees come up with.

    Brown hair, that's it.

    I would say brown eyes, but both FI and I have a recessive gene for green eyes. Both of my siblings have green eyes and all three of his siblings have green eyes, so I can't say for sure.

    I will most likely have big babies (8 or 9 lbs when born).  Also they will probably have blonde hair.  Not sure on blood type but there's a good chance that any girls I have will have Thalassemia Minor, it's inherited.  My mom has it, so does one of my aunts and my grandmother had it as well.  And they will probably need glasses.

    I am guessing that at least one of our children will be a redhead.  I have light red hair and when FI grows his facial hair out it is streaked with red even though he has brown hair.  My FMIL told me last time she visited that she really wants a redheaded grandbaby.

    They'll have brown hair and be very cheeky! LOL! 

    Seriously though, they'll be good with people. We both come from big families and I have no doubt that our children will be exposed to a lot of people when they come into the world so shyness isn't going to be an option for them!

    It's hard to tell.  The only thing I know is that they will have brown eyes, and awesome tans in the summer (not GTL, tans from being out in the sun).  Other than that, no clue, but I can't wait to meet them someday.

    @VirginiaMarie - Yes!  My head, I forgot I hope for that too.  And for them not to be giant babies in general - my husband and all 3 of his brothers are well over 6 feet tall!!  I am scared to ask my MIL how big they were at birth....

    Well, I would say green/blue eyes but my parents both have green eyes and my brother has dark brown eyes... but for sure, they will be very pale with freckles as we are both very fair and freckly.

    They will be opinionated and stubborn. They will get that from him. I'm not that way at all (haha).

    They will probably also have wavy hair (mine is naturally curly, and I mean SPIRAL curly).

    I have no idea! My husband is Chinese and I'm blonde haired and blue eyed lol. All I know is they WON'T have blue eyes (unless by some odd intervention) and I'm hoping for brown hair lol I've seem some chinese x caucasian kids look caucasian, but most of them look Asian. Basically, I have no idea! lol

     

    Oh, and they will also likely me thin-boned.

    They'll be fair skinned. Everything else is a toss up and/or I don't know enough about genetics to remember what's dominant vs. recessive and what the odds are. R is really tall, I'm really short. He has green eyes, I have brown. I'm really fine boned, he's really big boned. We're a whole slew of ethnicities - Irish, German, Hungarian, Slovakian, and Native American to name a few. FFIL likes to say that the HisLastNames were kicked out of every country in Europe!

    They'll have really pale skin and most likely be quite tall?

    I'd assume they'd have blonde hair as well, but who knows?

    I guess since I'm so close to meeting a little one, I'm more in the "can't wait to see instead of guess" category right now! :)

    @JoesWifey - I have a friend who is Chinese whose husband is blond hair blue eyed.  They had twins and no kidding - one looks Asian and one looks Caucasian!!  They think its hysterical!! Bu I agree with virginiamarie - I generally think babies with parents of different ethnicities tend to be just gorgeous!!

    Well people always tell my man and I that we look like we could be related (awkward) So our kid will definitely have brown hair... not sure about anything else though! We both have green eyes and brown hair but that's where the similarities end. I'm super petite 5' and he's 6'. I have an ugly chin and button looking nose and he has perfect features sooo jealous! I hope they take after him :)

    I was going to say before I opened the thread that they will be loved. Hard to say anything else with certainty.

    But I guess there is an awefully good chance they will look like daddy. I am a walking pool of recessive genes.

    @Bella--People always tell FI and that too!  OMG are you two twins?!  It's so gross!  Once, a grocery store check out woman asked us and I was so sick and tired of it that I said "We sure are twins! He's a great brother!"  And then I grabbed him and gave him the wettest, sloppiest kiss on the lips ever.  The look on her face was priceless!

    They'll have tan skin (I'm Native American and my FH is Columbian). But I'm actually not sure about their hair color!!! My FH and I both have dark brown hair now, but when he was a baby is was BLONDE... blonder than blonde!! So they may have blonde hair and then once they get older it'll change to brown. My FH's hair is also ridiculously curly whereas mine is ridiculously straight so that's a toss up there!!

    They'll also most likely be average height/tall...

    They will all have type O blood and skin issues.  Beyond that it's anyone's guess!  My DH and I are two completely different species genetically.  Our kids could have brown, blue, or green eyes.  They could have brown or black hair.  They could be fair skinned or darker.  They may have freckles maybe not.  We are both type O+, so we know our kids will be type O.  And we both have psoriasis, so unfortunately they will inherit that as well.

    A complete stranger just randomly asked you? HAHA People have no manners! HAHA! That totally sounds like somthing my fi would do to freak her out. Sometimes he'll walk up to me in store/restaurants/malls/any public place and say "Hey girl, you come here often?" We'll get the weirdest looks sometimes and he'll talk SO loud pretending like he's hitting on a stranger. He's such an odd man, I love it!

    I should mention that my aunt and uncle (both brunettes) have two platinum blonde haired kids!  No idea where that gene came from, we laugh about it all the time.

    Hmmm...they will probably be big babies...he has 2 and I have 1 and all of them were over 8lbs at birth.

    They will also be tall...my daughter is 5'5" at age 12, My FI's 2 sons are 6'5"(age 24) and 6'9" (age 19). He is 6'4" and I am 5'9".

    They will be highly intelligent....my daughter is in honors level classes, FI has 1 son at University of Florida majoring in Accounting with a 4.0 GPA, and another son who has graduated college and works with a major defense contractor.

    They will have parents with a lot of experience who will love them, protect them, and teach them all the things they need to learn in order to become happy, well-rounded, contributing members of society.

    They'll probably have issues due to being raised by two neurotic overachieving parents who will never be home.

    OMG, chicagobride, you guys sound just like my FI and me.  We're both INCREDIBLY neurotic overachievers and will also likely be so consumed by our work (we'll only have kids in our thirties, after we've both finished our Ph.D.'s) that our kids will have some major complexes.  Heh.

    Also, our kids will very likely have brown hair and be on the tall side.  FI is 6' and I'm 5'8" and we also get the "Are you guys siblings?" thing a lot.
