    When you plugged it in first you would have been prompted to set it up as a new phone or to restore from backup, which did you select?

    Ah yeah, that would do it :)

    Once you have the old phone synced, you'll need to restore from backup again. Right click on the phone under Devices in iTunes and you should have an option to do this. Then select todays backup (should be marked with a timestamp IIRC) and the messages will be there after that. You'll need to resync the music etc back again after that though.
