Yes, this is a female Wolf Spider carrying her egg sack. They probably carry the eggs slightly under their bodies to shield them from parasitic wasps that put their own egg into spiders and spider egg sacs. The wasp larvae eat the spiders and eggs. When the spider babies hatch the mother carries all of the hatchlings around on her body until they are big enough to fend for themselves.

I have an idea that this is a Wolf Spider female carrying an egg sack, I just needed somebody to confirm.

The length of the 4th pair of legs and the shape of the band on the prosoma seem ti point to the genus Pardosa, possibly P. lugubris.
