After conception, I would say that His life was very natural, in a physical sense. We know for sure that He sweated, bled, cried tears, thirsted, ate, etc.

In His human nature He sweated, bled, cried, thirsted, ate — and died. But that same Christ did none, felt none and suffered none of these things in His divine nature.

So to say that He was just a "regular" Guy is completely dismissing His divine nature which was with Him from the beginning.

Oh, I never intended to dismiss His divine nature, I just meant to distinguish it against His human nature. I don't think it subtracts anything from Christ or Mary if the pregnancy was as it goes with us, and if Mary felt normal birth pains. Since divine Christ was never born, I associate the birth with His human side.
