Ok, first things first. Just relax and I'm sure we (you & this forum) can get through this just fine.

It sounds as if you have your incubator working. But, do you have it ready for eggs? Do you have a substrate ready or do you plan to use the no substrate method? If that's the case, do you have an inner chamber ready? If the answer to either of these is no, then leave the eggs with mama.

What have the eggs been laid on? Is it even possible to safely remove them without damage? Are they sticking to anything?

If you leave the eggs with mama, you need to ensure she can get to some good heat without traveling too far and provide an environment where she feels secure enough to do so. IMHO, a glass tank with a heat lamp is not it. Can you provide a safe UTH for her? Or how about using a night time heat bulb? I would cover or at least wrap something around the cage so that she cannot see people beebopping in and out. Also, keeping humidity with a screen top will be difficult. You might want to put a large water bowl in along with something that will hold humidity in better than a towel. You may need to mist the cage daily or every other day.

Provide her with access to heat, privacy and humidity and she'll do the rest.

Keep us posted.
