what are the odds???

I have brown eyes, so does my inmediate family. But I do have an aunt with bright blue and all her three children(my cousins) have blue eyes.

My husband has green eyes, so does his father and my hubby's five siblings as well. But three of those siblings have had kids and all of them with brown eyes.

What are the odds that my lil'Matthew would have green eyes???

If you have the recessive gene for green eyes then he could have it of not brown will dominate.

Basically you must have a light eye gene and must pass that gene 50% chance. Bit only if you have the light eye gene.  Possible but not likely..sorry. But your baby will be perfect no matter what;)

How it works is you receive one gene for thwarted colour of your eyes from each parent. Brown is ALWAYS dominate.  The only possible chance for  you to have a child with light eyes is if you have a light eye gene.  So one of your parents would have had to pass a light eye gene to you.  My bf has brown eyes I have blue ...our daughter has brown and our son has blue so my bf must have a light eye gene which makes sense cuz his mom has green eyes.  If only your aunt has blue eyes and without knowing anything else then your chances of having a light eyed child is extremely low.

Brown eyes would be dominate but it's not impossible. I have 2 kids with my first husband & he has brown but I have green. Our oldest has green eyes & our second has brown. So it can happen
