I have not felt my baby kick in eight hours, should I be worried

This is a great question for your OB's triage line. Their response will depend on baby's gestational age, and they can give you some insight into expected sleep/wake patterns for how far along you are.

Yes, call your OB.  And if you're waiting to hear from them, drink some juice and lay on your left side if you can. 

I had "quiet" days with both my previous pregnancies that turned out just fine, but it's always alarming after you get used to constant movement.

You should go to your doctor and ask for advice. It might be the best option.
