Something for you to think about. If you have children with your husband. The children would have your husbands last name. Your son might be confused because he has your last name and his half siblings have your husbands.
No matter what he has a different last name. Lots of kids have half siblings and have different last name's. My ex's oldest son has his mother's maiden name. My daughter and her other two siblings have my ex's last name. His oldest son's other half siblings from his mom have her ex husband's last name. They seem to be fine especially growing up knowing who is biological father and who is stepfather. These days you have a lot more blended families and multiple last names. I don't think it's too big of a deal.

I actually have a 1 year old daughter with my husband and yes she shares his last name. I have considered this, however, that is why I kept my last name as my maiden. My son still has the same last name as someone else in his residential home. If his name was completely changed only to his father's surname then there would be three last names in our home. My maiden, my husband's and my son's father's surname. I'm not against hyphenating should it go to court, but I am against taking my surname completely out of the equation.
You could change your last name to your husband's name if your son's name got changed...
