Question about quickening -- or first baby movement ?

Question about quickening -- or first baby movement ?
For women who experienced the first movement of your baby as the sensation of bubbles popping or butterflies in your tummy, what part of your stomach did you feel the sensation?
I am 16 weeks pregnant with my first child and today felt two back to back sensations that could only be described as bubbles popping in my belly. It was so interesting feeling and unlike anything I've ever previously experienced! However, the sensation felt high up in the top of my stomach, but I know (through feel and week by week reading) that the baby is still right below my belly button. Is it possible that the bubble popping sensation could have been the first feelings of baby movement that I've read about? Would I be feeling these sensations higher than where the baby is?

Thanks in advance for your help! I don't want to get all super happy about the baby's first movement until I make sure that was what it was! hehe.
For the lady who said I should feel baby while I'm sitting -- I was sitting. I was at work (desk job) when I felt the sensations. They literally stopped me in my tracks because the feeling was so -- unique. The quickening is the first thing that came to mind because the only way I could possibly describe the feeling is too springy bubbles popping one after another.
