I would eat it. Just heat it up really hot, I am sure it kills any bacteria...
Yeah, I have to admit that I'd probably throw it in a baking dish, maybe with a little more milk, bake it until it was all browned and bubbly, and assume that killed off any bacteria.

I'd be more worried about the pasta making me sick than the cheese, especially after hearing that simple carbs are what go bad the fastest, like the potatos in potato salad.

Dang, I normally say yes to all of this, but that's too long for bacteria to be growing all up in there *and* you're pregnant. I'd pass, sadly. Sounds good though! sorry!
If I went to a buffet or something, and their mac n' cheese had been left out at an unsafe temperature overnight, I wouldn't come anywhere near it. And I'd be pretty grossed out. So yeah, I probably wouldn't eat it (especially for you mekiakoo because you're pregnant!), even though it might be okay. You could try adding some more milk and heating again past a safe temperature though, but that might dry it out....so i don't know. I'd probably toss it and make it again. BTW, it sounds REALLY yummy :-)
I did the same thing earlier in the week. Made myself a kickass turkey, and muenster sandwich which also had russian dressing and a salad with fresh mozzarella balls for lunch, put it in my lunchbag and forgot to put it in the fridge. KILLED me to throw it away the next morning:(
I wouldn't eat it. And if I did convince myself it was okay, I probably wouldn't enjoy it because I'd be wondering if I was slowly killing myself with each bite.
I'd eat it but since you're pregnant, I wouldn't want you to eat it, if that makes sense. I'd try it out on my H first and see how it went.
I agree with this - let your DH be the guinea pig. Let HIM eat it for say lunch. If he is not experiencing gastrointestinal distress by dinner time, NOM away!
