We haven't heard much from Sarah Jessica Parker since the birth of her twins via a surrogate mother.

And now we're kind of wishing we still hadn't heard much. The Sex and the City star has been talking to Elle magazine about the joys of motherhood.

"I love the smell of diapers – I even like when they're wet and you smell them all warm like a baked good," she said. "I love the smell of Balmex. Love it."

Which leaves us wondering exactly what kind of baked goods they have in the US.

Sarah also talks about how her seven-year-old son James is getting in on the act, by insisting that baby Loretta should be called Marion.

She explained: "He told me he really wanted Marion to be in the mix. We thought, 'Are we crazy? Do we let our son name one of the girls? Is that the right thing to do? Is it important for him?' And then he goes, 'And I want it legal'."

But SJP does have some fears about the new additions to her and hubby Matthew Broderick's family, saying: "I have a fear that they're not going to like me. The only tragedy would be if their feet are bigger than mine."

The new mum has come under criticism for her decision to use a surrogate mother but told the magazine: "We had explored, and continue to explore all options, and this one just happened first. This isn't the period at the end of the sentence."

Hmm... do we smell a possible African baby adoption on the horizon?
