As of now I've started the process to prove my citizenship, but I will enter Poland on my U.S. passport. When I get close to the 3 month limit that I can stay on my U.S. passport, I plan on going to Ukraine to "reset" the time for another 3 months.
There's no such thing as "resetting" the time. In fact, by doing this, you open yourself up to the possibility of having a lot of trouble at the border - and you really don't want to have to deal with complicated matters on the Eastern border.
Don't be fooled by the presence of stamps in your passport - according to Schengen law, these are informational only - to assist both border control and yourself with ascertaining when you crossed the border. Anyway, as a Polish citizen (or at least, someone who can be claimed as such) - these limits won't apply. However, you really are causing more trouble than it's worth by going to Ukraine for the sake of a passport stamp.
If you want to do things properly, come to Poland with all the paperwork that proves your right to Polish citizenship and start the process here. Everything can be done quite quickly when in-country - and you should get your Polish ID card pretty quickly - certainly before the 3 months expires.
