Odd bleeding

Here's my story: I didn't have a period in exactly 2 years (got pregnant, then breastfed. I'm still breastfeeding, too). My first period since Baby #1 started on 1-10-07. Yesterday (1-22-07) I started bleeding again, but it was very light, and it was brownish in color. I bled a bit more today, but I think it's going away. Also, I have noticed some extremely mild back cramps, and I'm tired. I can explain away the tiredness and the cramps (depression? not enough exercise + hauling a 16-month-old around + bad posture?), but I'm not sure of what to think about the bleeding. I was thinking that it could be implantation, but if it is, that would mean that I ovulated on day 7, which is completely unlike me pre-kid.

Does anyone here have a theory about what this bleeding is (Pregnant? Cancer?)? I'm sorry I don't have any other pregnancy-related symptoms, but with my first kid my only symptom was a lack of a period. I'm sure I can just wait until next month to see if my next period starts, but I'm impatient.
