Wow, super gross! lol! I've never seen this before! Next time I see a rolly polly, I will flip them over to look for babies!

I think it's a Pill Bug or Woodlouse (a type of crustacean). According to Wiki: "A female woodlouse will keep fertilised eggs in a marsupium on the underside of her body until they hatch into small, white offspring. The mother then appears to "give birth" to her offspring." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodlouse#Description_and_life_cycle
