First off, congratulations on the new baby!

My girls fight like that a lot, apart from the humping. I had my Chi, Ellie, for 2.5 years before I got my Yorkie girl, Maisie, and the day after I brought Maisie home, about 3 months ago, they started play fighting and well, haven't really stopped yet! lol They growl and bark at eachother while playing but as far as I'm concerned it is all just a game. It can sound awful when they're playing but I'm not worried. Ellie is the top dog out of the two of them but I am the boss overall. When they get a bit rough, which does ocasionally happen, I just give a shout and they pack it in.

If I were you I'd keep an eye on them, just to be sure it is a game and they're not fighting for real. But it sounds like normal puppy behaviour to me to be honest.
