The risk to your child is minimal, not much more than the risk in the general population. The risk to your husband's parent's children was greater, but still not substantially different fro the risk run by everyone in the general population.
Marriages between first cousins is really not that big a deal unless they come from a family with a long history of cousin marriages, or from a genetically isolated ethnic group.
