What do my husband and I do to make sure our wishes are followed regarding our son, in the event of our demise? If we want to be sure that my parents have custody of him, how should we go about that?

The simple answer is write a Will. Beyond that you should talk to the person or persons you wish to raise your son so they are aware of your wishes. Also, its a good idea to find out if they are willing.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.

You both should name your parents as guardians of your son in your wills. You may also name them as "standby guardians" in the event of your incapacity by a separate document.
