when my sister was born i remember her having a shrivelled up bellybutton/umbilical cord (that i thought was a raisin) that seemed to disappear after a while. i assumed it must retract into the body. i then spent the next 3 years digging for my 'raisin' that was stuck in my bellybutton. i never got it out.
