You can express your guardianship intentions in your will.

Re: Make a Will
Yes, you and your husband should make a Will which includes your appointment of a guardian and trustee, and a trust provision for the child. TN laws require that you both make separate Wills. Appoint someone responsible as your Executor so he/she can make sure the Wills are probated and your wishes carried out.
