Potted lemon tree pruning

I live on the MS Gulf Coast. I have a potted Meyer lemon tree that has about 10 lemons in various stages of growth. The largest are about the size of a small marble. My concern is that there are new blooms that are starting to form. Should I just let these be or should I prune them? I just don’t want them to rob any nutrients from the lemons that are trying to grow.
