There are several reasons. At the time his first four children were born large families were the norm. Only in retrospect does it seem like too large of a family. His wife at the time was a devout Catholic and Birth Control was out of the question.
His last three children came many years later after his older children were parents themselves. He married a younger woman who wanted to have a family and children. So if you break it down like that it really isn't too many children.
