J bought for me a Seahorse ornament from the Seattle Aquarium for our Christmas tree. I didn't tell him why I wanted that particular ornament except that he had to pick the color out and which one he thought was best. Most of us know that the male seahorse is the one that carries the babies. Rather symbolic I thought of our new path in getting a baby. The Seahorse for me represents that J will be carrying the genetic burden knowing that if anything goes wrong with his kid it isn't the donor's fault but something in his own genetics because our donor isn't a carrier for any of the known defects.
This is the ornament from the gift shop.
That looks like a wonderful aquarium. We are going to the Moody Gardens aquarium in Galveston in June.
ReplyDeleteI love aquariums, museums, caves and hiking. Just exploring and learning new things makes me happy.
DeleteYou took some awesome pictures, I love them. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen. J took quite a few of the pictures too as it was his camera. But I couldn't resist taking a few shots I wanted too.
DeleteLOVE the ornament -- what a great symbol. You should incorporate that into a nursery somehow, too (sorry, thinking WAY ahead here!)
ReplyDeleteThe seahorse ornament is beautiful! I have a lobster and a frog that are in the same style :) You took some great pictures. I can't seem to get anything in aquarium pics but fishy blurs.
ReplyDeleteThe seahorse ornament is wonder! That is so great!
ReplyDeleteAnd your first picture,... is AMAZING! And I can not say that I am biased! (otters and finches are AMAZING!! = best animals ever)
