Sorry to disappoint you, but we DO hear more of Mary after Jesus’ birth. Are you forgetting the finding of the Child in the temple, and the wedding feast at Cana?
We also hear of her during the Lord's Passion, when she is standing at the foot of the cross and Jesus entrusts her to the care of John.

John, Chapter 19:
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
Nice try...you knew what my point was and remains...Mary was not given any power...the deciples were...she received no power or authority at the cross... nor in the upper room nor at his crucifixion....she was present but not at all active. Which is my point...God never intended she go further than raising Christ...her job done her last words recorded were...”Do what He says”...Catholics would be wise to take heed she directed them to Christ...not herself..and she was done speaking thereafter.
For as few mentions of anything she has stated in scripture the catholic churc has raised her up as part of the trinity ...which she has no recorded history of whatsoever from God. Only that as Mother to the Baby Jesus...certainly not my mother or anyone elses.
