If this is the first Marraige for both of you, Yes.

Will we have all the blessing and graces that come with marraige?

Your Faith will bring you strength.

And will it be consider sacramentel?

No, for a Marriage to be a Sacrament both persons must be validly Baptized.

If no to any of the above questions please tell me how to go about getting it a yes

Your husband would also have to decide for himself to receive Baptism.

Check with your priest. There are complexities here. The status of marriage with an unbaptized person is an “issue” – but the canons on this make me dizzy. It certainly will not be considered a sacramental marriage.

God bless you!

I don’t want to take this thread in a new direction but it raises a question.

I would assume that the Catholic Church would consider the marriage described in this thread to become sacramental if and when the husband were to be validly baptized. It should not matter whether this (theoretical) baptism occurred before or after the wife was received into the Catholic Church. It should also not matter whether the husband is baptized as a Catholic or into some other Christian church.
