A sonogram is usually just black and white and you can only see the baby but an ultrasound is a better look at the baby and you can hear the baby's heart beat and stuff too. :)

They are pretty much the same thing, though occationally, "sonogram" is also used for the doppler sounding of the fetal heart tone.
In that case, ultrasound uses an image, where sonograms merely amplifies sounds, such as heart beats.
