Little bit of background info: My best friend had her baby in August of this year. Previously, her and her husband selected her hubby's childhood best friend to be the godfather. Since the best friends was married, they chose his wife as godmother. The mom, (my friend) was not really close with her husband's friend or his wife but agreed since it meant so much to the dad that is friend was the godfather.

The mom and I have been friends for years. I flew out of state to see her daughter be born, the selected godmother was not even invited because of a falling out that has since been somewhat resolved. I've babysat the baby and gone to see her multiple times, the godparents have seen her once and only for a few hours. This has all made the mom want to make me and my husband the godparents of her 2 month old baby. She asked me yesterday if I would sign the papers to make me her baby's gaurdian over the other couple.

I would LOVE to be her daughter's godmother but I feel sleazy taking it away from the husband's bestfriend, especially since the dad has no clue that she asked me. I told her I would have to ask my husband since it's such a huge responsibility and I don't want to accept it lightly. I also urged her to discuss it with her husband but she is adamant that I'm the best option for her daughter. What would you do?
