Does the launching of space vehicles from Earth's surface affect the overall orbit of the Earth over time?

Theoretical question Created on 25 May 2019

Details

It seems like the sum total of launches from Earth's surface would impact the planetary trajectory over time?!  Should we be conscious and careful about that potential change in orbit, though it is slight?  Can we balance launches so it's never a problem in the future?  Over what time frame would any orbit changes be observable?
