Headaches, fatigue, and insomnia are all very common pregnancy symptoms.
Try taking a couple (not too much) Extra Strength Tylenol before bed or whenever you feel a headache coming on. Check with your doctor first, but Tylenol is okay for most pregnant women to take.
If you still wake up, trying reading or watching TV... it helps my eyes to get tired and eventually I'll fall asleep again. Also make sure you aren't consuming caffeine...
Whatever you do, take it easy, know this is normal, and don't stress over it. Talk to your doctor if this doesn't help you... he/she may have more tips for you to try.

Practically anything is / can be "normal" for a pregnancy.
Please note: if the lack of sleep is interfering with the rest of your life, see your OB/GYN *asap*... the sleeplessness may be a minor annoyance, or it could be serious enough to be dangerous to you and the child. I believe in planning for the worst, but hoping for the best, so I'll hope it is minor.
