Another mad person up at all hours :) If you push in around and inch or 2 above your belly button you will probably feel it now I would imagine. You can feel a definite change from hard to soft as it ends. As it gets higher it gets easier to feel :) My suggestion would be to have a bit of an explore and you will feel it.

Feel for the uterus "rim" when you are lying down and relaxed - first thing in the morning is great.

You need to be lying flat on your back to feel it, (because if you sit up, your abdominal muscles get in the way). They measure from your pubic bone to the top of your uterus. My MW said that generally it expands an inch a week, so if you are 21 weeks, it is likely to be 21 inches.
