Either way you will need a waiver of the unlawful presence bar. You can apply for that waiver from within the US after March 4th. Marriage to a US citizen would help you qualify for the waiver. Your US citizen children will also help you qualify for the waiver. Nonetheless, the waiver does require proving extreme hardship.
