sxlxp stick with it kiddo you are doing really well, especially with a little one on the go all the time!
I know the feeling of being down, i am over 2 months off the analogues and still feel down from time to time, but that is more down to living on my own on a military base, weekends the place is empty!
As others have said, treat yourself, YOU deserve it!
Maybe even treat the little one to a meal out to a fast food joint, but make it fun and happy, i do that with my kids when i get to see them, and they like the non stinky dad with a bit more money to treat them to milkshakes!
We are all here for you and even though it is a forum on the internet, there are plenty 'virtual' shoulders to cry and and give hugs and encouragement

sxlxp, I found it so easy for the first week or so, and then I had my first slip-up. I was out having a few jars with my wee brother (who smokes) and after a couple of pints I really felt like I missed smoking. I had one that night, but carried on vaping. I had two more slip-ups within my first month, but aside from those three indiscretions I've been smoke-free for 98 days. It really does get easier, but there were a few things I found that helped me 'keep the faith', as it were.
Firstly, have a look around some of the fancy e-liquid sites (I found the alchemist's cupboard was a good one) and order a bunch of wee sample bottles in different flavours. Just experimenting with them helped keep me interested in vaping: it just seemed like there was so much out there to try.
Second, I downloaded a free app for my phone which keeps track of how long I've been off the fags, how many I haven't smoked, and how much money I've saved. It even has a wee widget on my home screen so I see it every time I look at my phone. I just went to the app store, searched for 'Vape', and grabbed the first free one I saw, and now every time I check my phone I get a buzz from seeing how well I'm doing.
You're doing really well, and if you stick with it you'll find it not only gets easier but also a lot more enjoyable. Above all else, you can rely on this community for fantastic advice and support. Of the forums I've tried, this is the one I've found most welcoming and friendly.
Keep your chin up, you're doing a cracking job!

Stick with it. As has been said, we're all here to support you any time you want a moan. We all know what it's like. And remember - most kids start smoking because their parents smoke, so you're doing this for your little one, not just yourself. (And, of course, a fit and healthy parent who can run around after you as you create chaos is much more fun than a wheezy parent with no energy 
)
You can do it!
