Not all babies are born with blue eyes. Babies can be born wit blue, green, brown, etc., eyes. You and your husband can have each a blue eye gene (which is recessive!) and statistically, your child can inherit blue gene from each of you and no dominant born gene, therefore the eyes are blue. There is also a good chance that the blue changes to a darker color later on as some genes can express themselves later with increase pigmentation. Genes and statistics are fascinating!!
