While it should rise, Bobby, it's a good sign that you are seeing any kind of activity, as this means that your starter is very much alive. It sounds possible that your fed starter may be a little heavier than intended, which can easily happen when measuring your flour by hand and can impede the rise. For best results, we recommend measuring your flour by weight whenever possible. If you do measure by volume, you'll want to be sure to use the fluff, sprinkle and level method described here to achieve the relatively light cup of flour intended.
