For now let her take care of it, as time goes by you can gather info on how to better deal with the eggsack and coming spiderlings.
Like JBoyer said, the most important thing is to not disturb her. The more she is disturbed, the better the chance of her eating the eggsack. I have even heard of people putting them in a dark closet, since the light may bother them also.

Not really....T. blondi only lays somewhere between 25 and 75 eggs but the slings are .5" when they emerge. Thats why T. blondi slings are so expensive compared to other large Ts like L. parahybana.

Oh you are SO lucky! Take a deep breath, be patient, and I'll send you my shipping address. Then, when they are born, package up a few and...=D
BEST O' LUCK WITH THE BABIES!

I have gotten first instar Blondi's that were 1"! They are large as babies, much larger than L.parahybana. Maybe other Theraphosa are almost as big when slings. I am not as familiar with them. Sam Marshall claims they are the largest sling at hatching.
