So hoping my baby girl inherits

miracle35 · Mar 6th, 2012, 11:03 AM

my OH's lovely mediterranean, olive skin (he is Turkish Cypriot) and not my pasty white, non tanning skin! Are my chances 50:50, or more in his favour than that? I could see an idea of her facial structure/features in my 6 month 3d scan and must say, she looks cute! Just so intrigued!

Anyone else having mixed baby x

Dark skin is dominant to lighter skin, same with hair color and eye color. However, usually a child falls in the middle of the two parents. So your child will most likely end up with a tone that's in the middle of you.

In my family- My fathers family is pale, they all have light brown hair, but he and his siblings have blue, green, and brown eyes.

My mom's side has easy to tan olive skin, brown hair, brown eyes.

My sister and brother have my mothers skin tone, brown hair, and brown eyes. I have light green eyes, light brown hair, and light olive skin. All around I'm noticably lighter than my siblings. It's really just luck of the draw...

not mixed, but my husband tans super fast always has a darker tan, brown eyes and dark brown hair
i am blond blue eyes and do not tan

my daughter has actually blue! eyes, her chances where 50/50 since OH dad (never met him) is darker like he is , and his mom has blue eyes

our daughter is blond/ darker then mine, blue eyes and tans easy!

however she looks just like me, even though he has all the dominant genes...

Wow, it is a real gamble isn't it! So exciting. I wonder if my baby will look completely Turkish? The truth is that she could take completely after him and not look English at all, although I'm sure as one of you said, she will fall somewhere in the middle of us. Both of your kids sound beautiful x

she probably take up her father's side but if she married an european, her children most likely won't
