Things like the moon will perturb it - orbits assume a 2-body system when we are strictly speaking in a (chaotic) n-body system.

Over millions of years that will add up, honestly I'm hoping someone else will do the math/research and figure out if they add up to enough that they wouldn't still be orbiting earth.
