I know exactly how you are feeling! I've fallen pregnant twice bf'ing, DS1 weaned when I was about 36 weeks (he was 15 months old), but DS2 weaned when I was 14 weeks (and 21 months old)! I was hoping that he would continue for longer! Both times I've hoped to tandem feed if they continued to feed. My supply seemed to drop earlier this time and also wasn't feeling any letdown and as you said I felt 'touched out' and senstive. I'd also always feed the boys to sleep and know it's really hard when they stop, I miss those quiet snuggles in the dark as they drift blissfully off to sleep.
Although on the upside I did find that my DH was more than happy to help with the settling to sleep once the night feeding stopped, I think they sometimes feel a bit left out as we have that strong connection with the breastfeeding, almost like they can't help. I know how emotionally hard it is, I hope it all works out for you.
