So was she technically the "Mother" of God. No. Not in the sense you mean it.

Thanks. In what sense do you mean it? Or, i.e., what does "technically" mean in your reply?

"Technically" she was only the "mother of our Lord" in the sense that she bore the Messiah. Mary was in much of a need of a Savior as anyone else (Luk 1:47). Contrary to Catholic doctrine, she was not unstained from sin. ALL have sinned and fallen short of God.
