How many babies do you think you have?
The eggs of this species are fairly large. This was a small sack, I would say 30-40.

I heard most won't live...is that correct?
Actually most of them should be just fine. Need to keep the humidity high so they don't dry out. However, if it is too high they can begin to mold which is not good either.

Wow.... I don't know if it's really cool or really creepy.
I know. They are kind of creepy looking aren't they. After a few molts they start to develop color and are actually very beautiful.
 
Do they each have their own container? I know some babies will eat the others

They are together for now. Normally they would still be in the egg sack. Once they molt once (1st instar) or twice I will separate them. There is always a chance for predation.
