I think you are just fine. I am 16 weeks along and for 2 weeks I have been feeling the baby move, very low in my abdomen. yesterday I only felt the baby move 2 times that I could remember. Today has been a lot. It will be sporatic movement until you get further along. And as far as the baby kicking you low is because the top of your uterus is barely at your bellybutton yet. It will move up when you are a little bit further along.  Some women say that doesn't happen until closer to 30 weeks. Also the position of the baby will determine where she kicks. Don't worry about it too much, it sounds like you are just fine. But if you are really concerned ask your doctor about it. =)
