No, she knew this particular encounter was certainly unusual to say the last...but her response to God was based on who she knew Him to be...Anything He wants would say it well..I doubt very much if there was any hesitation on Marys part of even considering a decision...rather because she knew Him it was enough just to let it be as He willed.

I agree that Mary was very blessed, full of Grace. It’s speculation as to her thoughts, I can’t see any reason to say she didn’t feel towards God as you say.

I would think she might have been a bit more considering than you think, however. She was betrothed but unwed. Becoming pregnant would cause more than a little problem for her. Remember, Angels explained it to her and Joseph, but not to their neighbors and village.
