Hi there. Would you please proofread the following text? Any help would be appreciated.
******************************************************************************
Over the next few weeks, Laohu proved to be a dutiful and very caring husband and father to be. With the mothers taking turns looking after Weifeng, he was able to resume hunting which included his mother when she was not looking after Weifeng. One morning he noticed his mother did not seem well. In fact, her condition reminded him of Weifeng. “Mother, are you sick…or with child?”
Lili looked both guilty and embarrassed. “To be honest, I’m not sure, it only started yesterday. I think I’m too old to have a baby. At least, I thought I was, but now I’m not so sure.”
Laohu said, “Well, maybe you should sit this one out. Your retching is going to scare off the game. I’ll get dad to take a look at you when we get back. You can wait in the clearing ahead.”
Later, after they returned from the hunt, Jiang was examining his wife. “Well, it seems I’m going to be a father.” Laohu clapped his hands enthusiastically.
Both Lili and Jiang feigned an angry look. Jiang said, “Don’t tell anyone… except Weifeng, but make sure she knows not to share this information just yet. It is unusual for a mature woman to have a baby, but your mother is extremely healthy. So, she might be an exception.”
